Marsannay 'Les Grasses Têtes': Bruno Clair's Premier Cru Aspirant

Hailing from the northernmost Côte de Nuits, Domaine Bruno Clair's Marsannay 'Les Grasses Têtes' stands out for its exceptional structure and capacity to age. The vineyard's name literally means 'Fat Heads,' referring to the large limestone rocks that lend a powerful, structured backbone to the wine, elevating it far beyond a typical Village Burgundy.

Tasting Profile

• Appearance: A classic, deep Burgundy red with a youthful violet rim.
• Aroma: A concentrated bouquet of ripe black fruits, liquorice, and a savoury, earthy complexity. Notes of cedar and baking spice emerge from its 18-20 months in oak.
• Taste: Muscular, precise, and persistent on the palate. The generous red and dark fruit core is supported by firm, yet beautifully integrated tannins. This cuvée requires time in the cellar, typically peaking after 6-8 years, offering remarkable value for Burgundy enthusiasts.

Food Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve this sophisticated red at cellar temperature (16°C-18°C) alongside rich, classic British fare.

• Pairings: Traditional Roast Chicken with all the trimmings, Game Pie (Pheasant or Venison), Veal Stew (Blanquette de Veau), or a mature, crumbly Cheddar.
