Bruno Clair, Marsannay, Source des Roches Blanc 2022 California blackberry and plum fruit aplentyReceived in Original Carton 92 Vinous The 2022 Marsannay Source des Roches has a light grapefruit and beeswax scented bouquet that opens in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a sapid entry, cohesive with fine weight and tension towards the pithy finish. It's well worth seeking out. (NM) 01 2022
