Les 2021 du domaine des marrans vu par Bill NANson

2021 Fleurie La Roche ‘hampagne
From the climat of Champagne which they are not allowed to use – hence the modest middle-finger to that in the cuvée name! Much stonier and less soil here than the Marrans area. Half cement half 500-litre barrel elevage
Also plenty of colur. Higher tones – forward, dark-red fruit – a super invitation and slowly adding some floral notes too. More structural but beautifully shaped – I love the clarity of this flavour – it’s a beauty – extra in all directions – that could be a great Fleurie!

2021 Fleurie Clos du Pavillion
A clos in la Chapelle du Bois next to the clos that’s now with Chateau de la Chaize. This is the historic parcel of the domaine before the buildings were constructed here in Marrans.
Narrower but with higher and fresher tones – that’s also a very lovely nose. Broader – fuller – also structured but this structure is a little hidden by the extra concentration here. More intense finishing too. I’d rather drink the previous wine today – but in 2-3 years this will be the best – bravo!

Mathieu’s brother, Camille is also here at the domaine since 2020 – here’s a cuvée in his name:

and for waiting a year or two.

And one white:

2021 Beaujolais Blanc
The lieu-dit is Poulet. 10-year-old vines next to their gamay close to Château Pizay. ‘We get some frost at the bottom of Fleurie but it’s very rare here – we didn’t have a problem.’ 25% demi-muids – 600-litre – with some age – the rest was tank elevage. Good freshness, not too ripe, slightly spiced. Hmm, this is layered has good freshness – the fruit is ripe – but not a bit too much.

This is easily one of the best BJB of the vintage – bravo! Juicy citrus with a small cushion to finish.

Millésime 2021 - Bourgogne - Domaine Naddef

Les 2021 du domaine Naddef vu par Bill Nanson

2021 Côteaux Bourguignone Clos Aux Eglises
Vines in Marsannay/Couchey – 50 yds from Bourgogne vines – no wood elevage for this.
Round, darker fruit. Hmm – mouth-filling – juicy fruit, faintly structured. An easy and delicious start.

2021 Bourgogne Côte d’Or
Vines in Couchey – 2 parcels. Only 2 barrels – 12 months elevage, all destemmed – older barrels. Used to be a larger cuvée but one part got upgraded to Marsannay villages.
Smoky and perfumed – that’s attractive. More supple, velour texture – darker fruit – again a very attractive wine – and completely delicious – it’s a super Bourgogne.

2021 Marsannay
5 different parcels – still in Couchey… in 2022 some new oak and a cuvée name – ‘Coeur de Terroir’
A more high-toned and floral nose. Extra depth and concentration. Deeply flavoured – more depth to this flavour and it’s very well presented too. Simply lovely.

2021 Marsannay Champs Perdrix
Lighter soil with more limestone – only 15 year-old vines. 20% wc and some new oak here too.
Perfumed wine – more airy and floral – a faint barrel note too. Large scale in the mouth – the barrel adds a faint smokiness. Some extra tannin and a finish that holds very well.

2021 Marsannay Genelières
45 year-old vines from a north-facing slope. Up to 40% wc, and one-third new oak
Less open but still with plenty of dark fruit. More direct, cool, faintly grained. A little framing of the flavour with tannin – a fine line of delicious finishing flavour.

2021 Fixin
5 different vines assembled – 20% wc and a little new oak.
A little smoky aroma from the stems – then a clarion call of beautiful floral aroma – that’s a great nose! Concentrated but silky – there’s a base-line of finely grained tannin and some finishing bitters too – you should wait – but this is a villages Fixin with everything – bravo!

2021 Fixin Les Clos
Not made every year – a parcel selection of the best grapes that are all whole cluster – made since 2008. In 21 only 50% wc though ‘as 21 was hard…’
This nose is round and faintly smoky. Like the last a very fine perfume of fruit. Wide over the palate – there’s scale here – super shaped wine. Broad and intense finishing with small bitters but still finishing sweetly. That’s got a very impressive shape and finish – I think it’s excellent…

2021 Gevrey-Chambertin En Songe
Not quite 40 years-old – ‘so we don’t class as VV here.’ 20% whole cluster
A silkier width of aroma. Less directly floral but still with a fine perfume. Supple, silky – a texturally lovely wine. Broad – a wine that gives a big hug to the drinker – super stuff.

2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles-Vignes
An average of 50-55 year-old vines – about one-third wc with some new oak
A width of aroma – with a little oak-spice showing here. More architectural – but more dynamic too – I love the vibrancy of this finish.

2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cazetiers
Actually Petits Cazetiers – From young vines – still 30% wc but here all new oak…
Not fully open, slightly smoky – slowly adding some fruit aromas. There’s both width and intensity here.

2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Champeaux
All destemmed – 50% new oak.
Showing some more floral fruit. Broad, fine shape – melting with gorgeous flavour – that’s simply an excellent wine – tons of mouth-watering energy and complexity – yes – slightly creamy finish!

2021 Mazis-Chambertin
2 parcels – bottom and top assembled. 40% wc and all new barrels. 80 year-old vines
Smokiness but here it’s more subtle – a more airy volume – in fact an impressive volume of aroma. Impressive scale – plenty of structure – layers of flavour. This will be super.

Les Whites:

2021 Fixin Blanc Le Rozier
More direct and mineral. Broader, more incisive flavour – bubbling with interesting flavour – plenty of concentration. Broad finishing – I like this a lot – this is delicious. A simply excellent CdNuits white – indeed a great Fixin Blanc!

2021 Marsannay Blanc Vieilles-Vignes
A little bit of new oak for this one. Some aromatic weight and at the same time freshness. Hmm – that’s a good wine too – broad, growing in intensity – I like the shape of this – I have a preference for the Fixin today – but find this also a super wine.
