Lot #1559. Domaine Bart Marsannay Les Grandes Vignes 2012

Description: Consists of 8 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 90+ JG.
"The 2012 Grandes Vignes produced some of the shortest yields of the entire vintage amongst the Bart family’s plots of vines, as these forty year-old vines struggled during the floraison and only produced seventeen hectoliters per hectare in this vintage! The wine was also produced with twenty percent whole clusters and twenty percent new wood, with plenty of demi-muids used, and it offers up a really lovely and black fruity nose of cassis, dark berries, a nice touch of medicinal tones (very reminiscent of young Mazis-Chambertin!), dark soil, a touch of game and a gentle framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nascently complex, with a fine core, ripe, chewy tannins and a very long, well-balanced and promising finish. Fine juice in the making here." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Mar/Apr 2014, Issue #50
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $300
