2013 Marsannay Champs Perdrix

The 2013 Marsannay les Champs Perdrix has a quintessential Marsannay nose with exuberant red berry fruit mixed with blueberry and violets, not dissimilar to say, Sylvain Pataille in style. The palate is laden with plenty of red berry fruit with touches of flint lending fine tension on the finish. This is decent energy and substance here, even if it does miss some breeding.
