Philippe Collotte Marsannay le Clos de Jeu

點擊次數(shù)：4389

From 40 year old vines in an outstanding (and, I predict, some day well-known) site, Collotte’s 2007 Marsannay Le Clos de Jeu brims with bright red currant and sour cherry that put me in mind of 2008, and its fine-grained texture and saliva-inducing acidity come without any tart or hard strings attached. There isn’t much sense of mineral dimension here – at least as yet – but sheer sappy, pure fruit persistence carries the day, and I would have no compunction about holding this for up to 4-5 years. Philippe Collotte (for more about whom, and about his sites, consult issue 186) had a difficult 2008 vintage, with a couple of wines (including that from a small parcel of Gevrey handicapped by a big-berried clone) that I could not recommend.Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel.
