Tasting notes
Marsannay remains one of Burgundy's most undervalued appellations, and "Clos de Jeu" makes the case with quiet authority. The climat sits mid-slope on stony clay-limestone soils, ground that pushes the vine to work, and the wine shows it. The 2022 opens with a nose that is both expressive and composed: kirsch and ripe red fruit at the fore, threaded with fresh mint, gentle spice, and a breath of woodland that adds complexity without weight. The oak is there, but discreet, a frame rather than a feature. On the palate, the texture is the revelation, satin-smooth, generous, with a density that fills the mouth without ever feeling heavy. The tannins are ripe and seamlessly integrated, and the finish is long, fresh, and fruit-driven, expanding rather than fading. At the village level, this is as convincing as Marsannay gets in a warm vintage: flattering now, but built to develop. Worth every penny of the gap between its price and its pedigree.
