Bart 2022 Marsannay "Au Champ Salomon"

When it comes to Marsannay, Domaine Bart's selection of crus is an embarrassment of riches. "Au Champ Salomon," one of their best, is located in a prime spot on the mid-slope, (south of the village, actually in Couchey) producing wines which marry power with elegance and longevity. The grapes from 40-year-old plus vines are hand harvested, fermented with native yeasts, aged for 18 months in barrel, of which approximately 30% are new. The 2022 Champ Salomon shows its relation to Gevrey-Chambertin with aromas of ripe black cherry and strawberry with earth and spice. The palate is dense and rich, with ripe cherry and blackberry fruit over earthy, mineral-laden acidity. This young Burgundy will accompany a steak or grilled pork, served cool, best held for three to five years, drink until 2035+. ("Outstanding Top Value" says Burghound)
