Domaine Charlopin-Tissier, under the meticulous guidance of Yann Charlopin, is celebrated for its precise and terroir-driven expressions across Burgundy. This Marsannay Rosé 2022 exemplifies their commitment to purity and regional typicity. Marsannay, uniquely positioned as the only village appellation in the Côte de Nuits permitted to produce rosé, offers a distinctive interpretation of Pinot Noir. The vineyards, situated on varied limestone and clay soils, contribute to the wine's inherent complexity and structure.
Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, the 2022 vintage showcases a vibrant character, balancing the grape's inherent red fruit profile with a refreshing acidity. The winemaking typically involves a direct press or very short maceration to extract delicate colour and aromatics, followed by fermentation and maturation in stainless steel to preserve its crispness and aromatic integrity. This approach ensures a rosé that is both elegant and expressive, reflecting the cool climate nuances of its Burgundian origin.
Tasting notes
The 2022 Marsannay Rosé presents a delicate pale salmon hue in the glass. The nose is immediately inviting, revealing precise aromas of wild strawberry, redcurrant, and a hint of citrus zest, underpinned by subtle floral nuances. On the palate, it is remarkably fresh and vibrant, with a crisp acidity that beautifully frames the pure red berry fruit flavours. A fine mineral thread runs through the mid-palate, leading to a clean, dry finish that is both refreshing and persistent. This is a rosé of considerable elegance and structure, designed for immediate enjoyment yet possessing the balance to evolve subtly over the short term.
