91-Points by Wine Spectator.

Very enjoyable. Sour cherries with a medium body and excellent balance. Generous fruit but plenty of acidity to keep things lively.

Aged in barrel for 12-16 months, 30% new oak

 

Marsannay is one of those Burgundian villages that languished in relative obscurity until recently, when Burgundy lovers began to reconsider the potential of the Côte d’Or’s lesser-known appellations. Today, some of Burgundy’s most renowned domaines have begun to bottle their own Marsannay, underscoring a newfound and widespread respect for this AOC situated south of Dijon.
 Régis Bouvier, by contrast, has been a true believer of this village’s wines for decades and is accordingly an expert when it comes to crafting top-notch whites, reds, and—unique in Burgundy—rosés from Marsannay’s terroirs. This old-vine rouge comes from what will one day be deemed a premier cru parcel, Les Longeroies—one of the two most respected vineyards here. It sits just below the other, Clos du Roy, and produces Régis’s most elegant and bright Pinot, reminiscent of black cherries, black tea, and baking spices. Longeroies is among the most versatile red Burgundies we import and will pair with all kinds of fare, from wild mushroom polenta to roast chicken or quail, and it can also be aged for upwards of ten years.
