Domaine Bart - Marsannay - Les Finottes - Rouge - 2021

Wine:

A radiant Pinot, the 2021 red Marsannay Les Finottes delivers a very delicate version of the grape variety, free from any desire for extraction or emphasis. On the contrary, there's a great deal of finesse, with pure, savory notes of cherry in syrup, held together by a very restrained woodiness. The elegant, unconcentrated structure reflects the vintage, where freshness and natural acidity combine to create a digestible wine that can be enjoyed now and over the next five years or more. Rated 93/100 by the Committee.
