Domaine Bruno Clair : Marsannay Village "Les Longeroies" 2022

The firm and fragrant raspberry and mulberry fruit aromas of the 2022 Longeroies from Bruno Clair enchant even as the texture on the palate reveals that more age is needed. There is a tannic grip and densely packed structure to spare. The grapes come from Clair's 1.37 hectares in Longeroies; they have delivered a wine that should wait a minimum of five years but will drink well for the next 20 after that. Despite culling out the oldest fruit for the La Murée bottling, this is still a monumental wine worthy of long ageing in the cellar.
