Truly a baby Lynch-Bages (well
the food is so wonderful and varied in that part of the world — from rich pastas and game
A great find from a village that is still off the radar
unlike much of Muscadet which is dominated by granite
Marsannay ‘Champs Perdrix’, Domaine Geantet-Pansiot 2021 Italian White 000 metres above sea levelSituated on a steep slope, Champs Perdrix is the southernmost vineyard in Marsannay, and a future Premier Cru. Fabiens 0. 78 hectares here are on shallow topsoil, giving a light, mineral and perfumed expression. Thirty percent new oak supports the delicate red fruit nicely, along with some floral, spicy touches and a chalky, mouthwatering freshness. This is crunchy and pretty, but there is a sneaky hidden depth and structure that should help it age.
