Les Favières Marsannay Pinot Noir

Jim had this 10 years ago

Smokin, bright red fruit, still has time, great #wine from #IPNC vault

Forward, very pretty.

I found it a bit simple. Reminded me of Swiss and German Pinot noir.

Elegant and uncomplicated. Good mid week bottle

Black cherry, hard raspberry candy, med acid 🍒

Fine. That’s how it is Fine, more subtle and refined than domestic Pinot, more basic than core d’or.

Can’t believe how good this is for the (restaurant) price. Milan Kundera would say, This one’s as light as a feather on the palate but leaves an unmistakeable trace of longing

Dried strawberry with this deep tar, blackberry, soy, and leather nose. Mushrooms too. Organic, but still clean. Elegant on the palate. Rhubarb and cranberry. Very pretty. Solid length. Drink or hold. May develop a little more complexity with time.

Audoin Marsannay punches way above its weight. It beats many 1ers from prestigious addresses. This is burgundy purity. Sweet spicy fruit. Juicy acidity
