Louis Jadot Marsannay Blanc 2016

Maison Louis Jadot produces a nice golden Marsannay. It has a fine, open nose reminiscent of bananas, pineapples and lemon. Supple, rich and fat, this wine has a remarkably long finish. It will perfectly match ham, poultry, terrine, freshwater fish dishes and cheese like Comté. It will be able to age 8-12 years in perfect conditions of temperature and humidity.

The Marsannay is a gorgeous, textured wine. White peach, almond, dried flowers and mint all flesh out in a generous, textured Burgundy full of near-term appeal. This is an especially generous, resonant Marsannay. According to winemaker Frederic Barnier a clonal mutation of Chardonnay in this parcel yields wines of unusual textural depth and structure.
