2020 Marsannay Rouge, Les Longeroies, Domaine Jean Fournier, Burgundy

Description

Laurent has six hectares here, of which five are Pinot Noir. It produces an enigmatic wine with an impression of warmth on the nose – rich black fruit, violets and black pepper – which seems to contradict the fresh, mineral palate. This is a broader and richer wine than the Clos du Roy, and the tannins are furry and tangible.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 89-91/100
A super bright deep imperial purple. There is a core of liquid raspberry on the nose, spice and pepper behind as well as the fruit, which has more weight at the back of the palate. Some blood orange impinges, often a sign of iron oxide in the soils.

Allen Meadows 89-92/100
A slightly spicier nose is other similar to that of the Clos du Roy. There is excellent volume and a bit more evident minerality on the supple but punchy, well-balanced and youthfully austere finale. This is quite good while the supporting structure makes clear that this should repay up to a decade of keeping.

The 2020 Marsannay Les Longeroies Rouge has a little more cohesion and complexity compared to the Clos du Roy at the moment. Plenty of black fruit here, just a hint of liquorice. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, fine depth and grippy tannins. A structured, saline finish suggests that a couple of years in bottle will benefit this wine.
