Marsannay "Les Finottes" - Domaine Bart 2021

Marsannay "Les Finottes" from Domaine Bart is a captivating expression of what Burgundy has to offer in terms of quality red wines. This specific label comes from the Marsannay region, situated in the northernmost part of the Côte de Nuits, where the calcareous and clay soils contribute to creating an ideal microclimate for cultivating Pinot Noir.

With a vibrant ruby color and slight garnet reflections, Marsannay "Les Finottes" reveals a complex bouquet on the nose; aromas of wild berries, such as raspberry and blueberry, intertwine with notes of violet and a slight spicy touch of white pepper. The oak aging is well integrated, adding hints of cedar and vanilla without overwhelming the freshness of the fruit.

On the palate, the wine shows excellent structure and balance. The liveliness of the acidity and the softness of the tannins blend into a medium-bodied character, leading to a persistent finish that revisits the fruity and spicy notes perceived on the nose.

Ideal for accompanying red meat dishes, such as beef fillet or roast lamb, Marsannay "Les Finottes" also pairs well with medium-aged cheeses. Serve at a temperature of 16-18°C to fully appreciate its bouquet and complexity.

With Marsannay "Les Finottes" from Domaine Bart, one delves into the heart of Burgundy's winemaking tradition, celebrated for its finesse and the elegance of its wines. Ideally, this wine is to be enjoyed now or can be aged in the cellar to develop further aromatic nuances over the next 5-8 years.
