Peter Maude Fine Wines
2021, Domaine Bruno Clair, MARSANNAY, 'Les Grasses Têtes'
$107
The 2021 Marsannay Les Grasses Têtes has the most powerful bouquet amongst Clair's Marsannays, though the Longeroies has more mineralité and complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly candied entry - desiccated orange peel mixed with allspice, the finish just a little disjointed at the moment. 87-89 Neal Martin, Vinous.
The 2021 Marsannay Les Grasses Têtes is the most muscular, structured of the Clair Marsannays, exhibiting aromas of spices, sweet berries and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate underpinned by plenty of sweet, powdery tannin. 89-91 William Kelley, Wine Advocate.
