2021 Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Blanc Cuvee Charlie

Domaine Charles Audoin was formed in 1972 by Charles and his oenologist wife Marie-Francoise, starting with three hectares in Marsannay. Their holding has now grown to around 14 hectares that captures some of the best parcels in Marsannay. Their son Cyril joined his father in 2000, and is now in charge of both vineyard and winemaking activities for the Domaine. Cyril is increasingly focused on vineyard health, to deliver wines with pure varietal expression and a sense of place. They are among the most serious wines from the area, and while juicy and approachable young, have the capacity to age gracefully for many years.

Other Reviews....
Beautifully ripe and fragrant fruit here, with mangoes, white blossoms, star fruit and cashews. Some nougat. Full-bodied, creamy and with excellent weight that you might not expect for the appellation or vintage. Very textured with a mineral dryness. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
