Bruno Clair and Philippe Brun are the Batman and Robin of Marsannay that have really ratcheted up quality at this domaine. Both were on top form when I dropped in at their winery (though my God, whatever Bruno had just eaten for lunch, it was making his tummy rumble like Krakatoa!) “We had a lot of rain in the winter," he told me. "It was completely different to the 2019 growing season. In 2018 the maturity was quite strong. We started the picking on 27 August until the 8 or 9 September. I find that the tannins are very tender. Maybe you could say 2018 is a mixture of 1947 and 1959. There is more fruit than in 2003 and more phenolic maturity. The whole bunch in 2018 is between 30-40% as in 2017 and we did less pigeage after fermentation. The alcohol is between 13 and 14% but most are around 13.5%." I strongly recommend this domaine's wines, with some gems among the Premier Crus.
