The 2010 Marsannay is a striking wine, but I didn’t have to taste it to realize that. The deep color is the first sign this is going to be an unusually rich wine, which it most certainly is. The 2010 is a decidedly plush, intense Marsannay bursting with layers of deep, ripe red fruit. The 2010 boasts incredible power and, most important of all, tons of harmony for a wine at this level. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. This is a fabulous set of wines from Bruno Clair and his long-time oenologist Philippe Brun. The harvest started on September 25. Yields were 22-30 hectoliters per hectare, which is to say a good 10% less than 2003, a torrid vintage marked by tiny yields. Clair describes the fruit as healthy, with no botrytis and soft tannins from the late harvest. The 2010s were 100% destemmed. New oak ranged from 25% for the villages to 50% for the Grand Crus, except for the Marsannays, which saw very little new oak.A Becky Wasserman Selection, Le Serbet, various American importers, including: Martin Scott Wines, Little Neck, NY; tel.
