Vinous: 91-93 Points

The 2022 Marsannay Les Longeroies was cropped at 35hL/ha as the vines are naturally low cropping due to the limestone soils. With around 50% whole bunches this has an attractive nose with brambly black fruit sous-bois and a touch of Japanese nori. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. The 10% new oak is very judicious and there?s a harmonious and persistent finish. A superb Marsannay. (Drink between 2026-2036)

Burghound: 89-92 Points

This is also aromatically exceptionally fresh with its blend of red cherry currant earth and lavender wisps. There is better volume to the equally textured medium weight flavors that are supported by relatively fine-grained tannins on the youthfully austere long and balanced finale. This could use better depth but a few years of keeping should address that. (Drink starting 2028)
