James Suckling 92
An ideal introduction to the chardonnays of the Cote d'Or. So much flint, lemon and lemon-blossom aromas filling out the generous and lively body. Impressive textural complexity on the mid-palate. Very elegant, long finish with tantalizing minerality that pulls you back for more. Drink or hold.

Description
Marsannay is the village which marks the northern gateway to the Cote d'Or on leaving Dijon, the capital of Burgundy and home to the Ducs de Bourgogne. This village marks the beginning of the Route des Grands Crus which follows the N6 highway through the Cote d'Or. Marsannay received its Appellation Controlée as recently as 1987 in recognition of the consistently high quality of its wine.
