Domaine P-L & J-F Bersan, Cuvée Marianne, Irancy, 2019

Drinking Window: 2023 – 2029
Though they have a hectare of vines in Irancy, their Cuvée Marianne comes from Pinot Noir—and a tiny amount of César—from two lieux-dits, Les Rez and La Grande Côte Est, that they buy from a neighbouring grower. Pure and clean, this mid-weight red has bright cherry-like notes balanced by a stony firmness. An attractive subtle bitterness in the finish means that someone, thankfully, reigned in the ripeness of the vintage. It’s a finesse-filled wine.
