FEATURES
🏰 The 2016 vintage in Burgundy was a challenging year due to frost and hail, but ultimately produced high-quality wines, especially for Pinot Noir, with good concentration and freshness from the surviving grapes. Domaine Bart is a well-regarded producer in Marsannay, known for crafting authentic and expressive wines that reflect their terroir. Marsannay Clos du Roy is a notable vineyard within the appellation, often producing wines with good structure and aging potential. Expect this red Burgundy to display vibrant red fruit aromas, such as cherry and raspberry, with earthy undertones and perhaps a hint of spice. The palate should offer a lovely balance of fruit, acidity, and fine tannins, characteristic of a well-made Marsannay. 【風土表現力】
