"A grouping of different parcels to give an image of the entire Marsannay finage. Red fruit highlighted, charming and crisp fruit." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve). Finage, a medieval term indicating the limits of a village territory, is a blend of seven lieux-dits where all the qualities of each parcel are balanced in a wine revealing the best of the appellation's terroir. A fine ambassador for the Marsannay appellation!

Eye
Deep ruby red with delicate hints of violet when young
Nose
The first nose is fine, with a floral touch that evokes violets and a fruitiness dominated by raspberry. On aeration, the wine takes on a great dimension.
Mouth
The attack on the palate is characterized by suppleness and openness in a single movement, with a very fine character. The consistency is solid, and the tannins assertive right from the wine's youth. The marked vivacity makes the texture vibrate, which delicately unravels into a very long finish. The fullness and graceful viscosity offer a harmonious mouthfeel.

About the domain :
Bernard Bouvier is one of Marsannay's finest winemakers, showcasing the commune's rich heritage. A firm believer in infusion, which breaks with the heavy extractions Burgundy has known in the past, he likes full-bodied wines, good young and good old, harvesting when ripe and intervening as little as possible. He likes the emotional and tactile aspects that guide him in his choices. We'd like to point out the friendly welcome he receives at the domaine, his organic approach, a range of gevreys, marsannays and fixins at affordable prices and with great homogeneity. An address that does not disappoint, the wines are as close as possible to their terroir of origin, with the tactful vinification that characterizes the domaine's production.

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
This three-generation family estate boasts a rare heritage of old vines, with an average age of around 50 years. Bernard Bouvier, 52, signed his first vintage in 1986 and is one of a generation of winemakers who have brought new blood to Burgundy. After having, like many others, given in to the siren calls of modern, highly extracted wines, he has corrected course to produce finer cuvées. 2009 marks the transition to organic viticulture, and 2010 the start of the use of whole grapes, averaging 50% for all wines. More moderate use of new oak and more precise choices of ripeness have recently produced much more accomplished wines, rewarded last year with a first star. Organic certification was lost in 2016, but is again in the process of being approved.

Excellent light-colored red wine with lots of aromas, suitable for red meat or a meal with sauce. I recommend this Burgundy wine. Gabriel
