Decanter 93 pts! Deep, almost black in colour, but a lively, fresh blackberry character accented with floral notes and a firm but approachable texture. Grasses Têtes is a prime mid-slope parcel that Bruno Clair feels gives the most long-lived wine in Marsannay. He owns 2.27ha here, spread over a variety of east-facing parcels. In 2020 the vineyard delivered less juice than in 2019, so the grapes were punched down only five times to prevent over-extraction. Clair opted to use 50% whole clusters to maintain freshness. (Drink between 2023 - 2035)
