The 2019 Marsannay Les Favières is a brilliant wine in the making, unwinding in the glass with aromas of plums, cassis and cherries mingled with hints of violets, peonies, dark chocolate and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with lively acids and powdery tannins, it's a layered, elegantly structured wine built for the long haul. If readers can find a better value age-worthy red Burgundy from the northern C?te de Nuits, I'd love to know about it.
