Domaine Bruno Clair Marsannay Grasses Tetes 2006

Domaine Bruno Clair Marsannay Grasses Tetes 2006 from Marsannay which is near Gevry Chambertin in Burgundy, France, a red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes and sold by The Wine Society at £20 is a lovely deep coloured wine ( deep for normally pale Pinot Noir), ruby with garnet rim. It has aromas and flavours of red and black berry fruits and ripe cherries enshrouded in spiced, toasty oak, it shows notes of vegetal / game and flavours of dried fruits and underlying chocolate. The texture is silky and indulgent, the tannins are ripe, dry and tasty. The length of this wine shows its class, it is long with complex layers of fruits, spice with a warm silky edge. Throughout this wine is well structured, balanced and truely elegant, it is well interlaced - a joined up wine!
