Domaine Collotte Marsannay Grasses Têtes 2019

Created in 1987, the Marsannay Villages appellation is a relatively new one in Burgundy but an ancient and well respected source of fine wine. Located on the southern outskirts of Dijon at the northern end of the Côte de Nuits, Marsannay missed out when the first Villages appellations were handed out in 1930. But it wasn’t because the terroir was deemed inferior. It was simply that there was very little Chardonnay or Pinot Noir planted.

Notes of spicy red berries and cherries introduce the 2017 Marsannay Les Grasses Têtes, a medium-bodied, velvety wine built around tangy acids and powdery tannins. This is one of the more understated wines in the Collotte portfolio this year. Drink 2020-2035. - 88 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate, on the 2017 vintage
