RATINGS

92Wine Enthusiast

Firm & tense... on the high wire. The tannins are stretched with acidity, the berry fruits & red cherry flavors vividly standing out against this structure. The aftertaste is fine, poised, mineral. This is developing into an important wine.

88-90Stephen Tanzer

Redcurrant, smoke, mocha and leather on the nose. Broad, lush and sweet, with good volume and mounting spice character. An easygoing, nicely ripe wine that finishes with a suggestion of boiled fruits.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Beaune, Les Marconnets

Les Marconnets is a 14-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Beaune appellation, in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. The vineyard is located at the northern end of the appellation near the top of a slope. Clive Coates has called the wines of Les Marconnets “fullish, plump and rich.” Les Marconnets is one of 44 Premier Crus in Beaune, which has no Grand Crus.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
