Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru Les Marconnets 2019 (BH 92)

Burghound 92 points.

Organic.

"A cool and airy blend is composed by notes of poached plum, black cherry, raspberry and an interesting hint of clove. The beautifully textured middle weight flavors possess a caressing and sappy mouthfeel that also contrasts with the dusty, youthfully austere and markedly firm finale. This too is very promising though it's a wine that's going to need at least 5 to 7 years of cellaring first."

This plot of 67 acres is located at the top of the hill and looks to the southeast. It enjoys a limestone soil mixed with silt, sand and clay.

This climat extends on both Beaune and Savigny communes. This name comes from Marcomans (lat marcomani or men of the border), a West Germanic tribe existing until the fourth century; this type of Germanic declination is frequently found after the invasion of the Franks for names of rivers around Beaune. It appears in literature in the form Marconain in 1270 and Marconnay in 1294; a stream thus took its source in this locality.

Comparable to certain grands crus, the wines have distinction, power and aromatic complexity.
