2023 Charles Audoin Marsannay Clos du Roy

Burghound Outstanding – “This is aromatically similar to the Cuvée Ragonneau but with a healthy dollop of floral elements. There is both more volume and notably more minerality on the caressing and punchy medium weight flavors that deliver better length on the balanced and youthfully austere finale that is noticeably more structured. As such, at least a few years of bottle aging are recommended.”

James Suckling 96 – “This has the most incredibly deep and fine raspberry aroma that it almost bowls you over on the medium-bodied palate! Great freshness and precision, the little hint of bitterness underlining the forest-berry flavor that builds at the mouthwateringly fresh and uplifting mineral finish. From organically grown grapes. Bottled unfiltered and unfined. Drink or hold.”
