2019 Domaine Bruno Clair Marsannay les Grasses Têtes (750ml)

"Traditionally, this is the biggest of the Marsannay wines from Clair, coming from a 2ha parcel on the slopes above the village, in heavier clay soils, planted at the beginning of 1969. Fermented with 30% whole clusters on native yeasts, with a gentle extraction, the result is a wine with pleasantly forward fruit that is slightly marked by the wood at this stage, but with time this should integrate well. (Drink between 2024-2039)" 92 points - Charles Curtis MW (Decanter, October 2020)"Much like the Vaudenelles, the nose is exceptionally fresh and bright with its very floral-infused nose of mostly red berries and earth. There is terrific intensity to the relatively big-bodied and markedly firm flavors that culminate in a more structured, more complex and longer finish. This is also well-made and should reward up to a decade of cellaring." 90-92 points - Allen Meadows (Burghound, January 2021)Note: 50% whole clusters in 2019
