Vinous (91-93)
The 2019 Marsannay Les Longeroies comes from the middle of the vineyard on clayey soils. It is quite high-toned on the nose with Morello cherry, crushed strawberry and sea cave aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with very good depth, rather spicy with a liberal sprinkling of cracked black pepper on the vivacious finish. There is good persistency here - this is a superb Marsannay.保税价格￥ 4,435.00 -

Finishes with dusty tannins and a repeating leathery nuance but also good raspberry and licorice intensity.保税价格￥ 3,810.00 -
