Albert Morot – Marconnets 2018 – Beaune Premier Cru

The nose is elegant and offers a justly built richness, a beautiful finesse of the grain and harmony. It reveals notes of creamy blackberry, fleshy plum, small notes of fleshy cherry associated with small touches of cherry blossom, nutmeg, sweet spices as well as a hint of tonka bean and cardamom. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, juiciness, a small gourmandize, tension (full of finesse), juiciness, meticulousness in this wine as well as a beautiful finesse of the roundness/fat, dynamism and a small racy minerality. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy cherry, plum, small notes of fleshy/juicy cassis associated with small touches of chocolate, cardamom, tonka bean, bergamot as well as a subtle hint of toasted hazelnut. Tannins are precise and elegant. A beautiful persistence and a subtle chew on the finish/persistence.
