Marc Roy Marsannay Champs Perdrix Blanc

A Marsannay Blanc with limited production especially for this vintage. Offering a fresh, delicate feel. A perfect canvas for a refined white with a gorgeous acidity. From the highest altitude section (350m+) of Marsannay, on the Fixin border. 40+ year old vines. No malolactic. Indigenous yeast. Fermented and aged in barrel (20% New French Oak).

Winemaker notes

An exuberantly fresh nose reflects notes of straw, petrol, citrus and apple. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the overtly stony middle weight flavors that terminate in a clean and dry finale that is shaped by bright lemon-tinged acidity. This refreshing effort should drink well almost immediately.

2021

Burghound 87: A ripe and quite fresh nose freely offers up its aromas of white peach, citrus confit and a floral wisp. There is a lovely sense of vibrancy to the delicious middleweight flavors that terminate in a distinctly lemon-tinged, very dry and youthfully austere finale that offers acceptable depth and persistence. To enjoy young for its crunchy fruit.

2022

Burghound 88: Softly exotic aromas include those of melon, citrus confit and poached apple. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the lightly stony middle weight flavors that conclude in a very dry and lingering if mildly rustic finale. To enjoy young for its refreshing fruit and clean finish.
