Marsannay rouge AOC 2022

Wine description for Marsannay rouge AOC 2022 by Trapet Père & Fils

Colour & Appearance

Luminous ruby red with violet reflections – a wine that already reveals its youthful freshness and vitality in the glass.

Nose

The bouquet is of striking elegance and feminine grace. Violets and wild raspberries dominate initially, accompanied by ripe notes of raspberry jam and sour cherry. Behind these unfold subtle accents of light tobacco, leather and hazelnuts. The terroir-driven nuances of forest floor, bark and a hint of truffle lend this Marsannay remarkable depth and complexity.

Palate

On the palate, the 2022 presents itself with invigorating freshness and crystalline clarity. The mineral structure is impressive – cool, stony, almost saline in its precision. The acidity is taut and pointed, without being intrusive, whilst the tannins are fine-grained and perfectly integrated. This combination of tension and finesse makes the wine already accessible now, yet promises fascinating ageing potential. In the coming years, the earthy, terroir-driven components will become even more pronounced. The finish is long, inviting and characterised by saline minerality – a wine that entices you to take the next sip.

Food Pairing Recommendations
