PRE-ARRIVAL DUE MID JUNE
The vineyard name, Les Longeroies, probably comes from the French verb longer which means ‘to border’. This makes sense as Longeroies is on the boundary between Marsannay and the next village of Chenôve. It is a star climat of the AOC and has been earmarked for promotion to 1er Cru (when Marsannay finally gets some!) Longeroies faces south, and the two Mortet parcels sit mid-slope. One is 50 years old, and the other was planted with Pinot Fin clones in 1992.
The aging consisted of 18 months in oak, only 10-15% new and the balance in one- and two-year-old barrels. Fifty per cent whole bunches were used this year. Although the prices are now rising, Marsannay remains one of the last great value appellations of the Côte, and this is certainly one of its very best examples.
Dark clean colour, the nose is discreet with an amazing wealth of fruit on the cusp of red and black, a little softer in the mouth than the Bourgogne with the same superb length. 90-92 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
A slightly less expressive but extremely fresh nose offers up notes of earth, dark currant, spice and plum. The ripe, seductive and sleek middle weight flavors possess fine mid-palate density before culminating in a saline-inflected and youthfully austere finale. 88-91 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound

“A little lighter in crimson purple and showing a touch of oak now. Quite powerful, not quite so harmonious but note that this has been tasted directly after the sublime Nuits-St-Georges Aux Boudots. Actually, this is a fine and nicely nuanced Vosne-Romanée.” 90-93 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy “There is a very pretty, perfumed and high-toned […]

Add to cart Producer: Hughes & Hughes“Deep purple black, surprisingly little nose. Juicy pure red fruit, classic rather than hot vintage fruit in the mouth and impressively concentrated, firmer structure than in 2019. Really long finish. I am rather impressed by this.” 87-89 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy This bright and juicy Bourgogne was drawn from three parcels: one-third comes from […]

A remarkable wine, from an impossible vintage. The fruit is sourced from all of the estate vineyards, only 100 cases produced perhaps the best demonstration of just how punishing a vintage it was. Quite closed initially, but with patience, aromatically soaring. Intense sweet and tangy blue red and black fruits, cut flowers, mace, clove, cinnamon […]
