Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy - on the 2020 vintage

“Glowing purple with a pure clean light red fruit nose that belies the density of the wine on the palate with a rich deep but not dark cherry note.”

Overview:

2020 Domaine Aurélien Verdet Marsannay 'Champs Perdrix', a standout expression of Marsannay's unique terroir. This wine, hailing from the 'Champs Perdrix' vineyard has a nose of vibrant red fruits, including raspberries and strawberries, complemented by floral notes and a hint of spice, reflecting the complexity and freshness characteristic of Marsannay wines.
