Marsannay rouge AOC 2023

Wine description for Marsannay rouge AOC 2023 from Trapet Père & Fils

Colour & appearance

Bright ruby red with cherry-red reflections. The colour shows the youthful freshness of the 2023 vintage and promises an elegant, not too heavy Pinot Noir from the northernmost appellation of the Côte d'Or.

Nose

This Marsannay has a seductive fragrance of fresh red berries - Raspberries and cherries dominate, accompanied by floral notes and a hint of spice. The biodynamic cultivation of the Trapet family is reflected in the purity and clarity of the flavours, which come across without any heaviness or over-extraction.

Palate

On the palate, the wine presents itself with silky tannins and a lively acidity that is typical of the northern Marsannay site. The fruit remains present, but is interspersed with a mineral vein that gives the wine length and complexity. With 13% alcohol, it never comes across as heavy, but displays Burgundian elegance to perfection.
