2022, Domaine Bruno Clair, MARSANNAY, 'Les Grasses Têtes'An intense ruby purple. More concentration of the intense raspberry strawberry fruit. The Grasses Ttes is much tighter on the palate with a certain tannic austerity but such a concentration of fruit. Strawberry and raspberry together, definitely both dense and structured, will hold back until June before bottling. **** 91 93 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. A more deeply pitched nose somewhat grudgingly reveals notes of plum, earth, wild dark currant

two classified Margaux wines in Bordeaux

with 19% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc in supporting roles

nicely presented with such ease of drinking - you don't feel they have overdone things at all

lime zest and mango

framed by an elegant mineral note of crushed limestone
