Tasting notes
The 2017 Marsannay Les Favières is showing superbly in bottle, exhibiting aromas of raspberries and cassis mingled with raw cocoa, forest floor, peonies and blood orange. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with chalky structuring tannins and lively acids. This is, as so often, the finest long-haul proposition in the Audoin portfolio.

Feathery tannins, bold black fruit, strong peppery spice on the finish. Dry and tense on the palate – clearly built to last, and with a very good amount of concentration and persistence. (RH)
