2023 Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Cuvee Marie Ragonneau

Founded in 1972 by Charles and Marie-Francoise Audoin, Domaine Charles Audoin has been central to Marsannay's evolution into one of the Cote de Nuits' most engaging appellations. From an initial three hectares, it has grown to fourteen across many of the village's key sites. Since taking over in 2000, Cyril Audoin has brought a quiet precision to both vineyard and cellar, guiding the estate to organic certification and overseeing the construction of a purpose-built winery. The result is a style that feels unmistakably of Marsannay: pure, composed, and full of energy.

Other Reviews....
Rippling with sour-cherry and red-berry aromas, this beautiful pinot noir has excellent energy and purity. Super-silky tannins make this glide over the medium-bodied palate. Very clean and bright finish. A cuvee of three sites, all with vines around 70 years old. From organically grown grapes. Bottled unfiltered and unfined. Drink or hold.

Fresh, ripe and layered aromas include those of poached plum, earth and a whiff of wood. The succulent, round and delicious middle weight flavors possess good verve that carries over to the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. This could use more depth but a few years of cellaring should help. Drink through 2027+.
