Marsannay Rosé is unique in that Marsannay is the only village appellation in Burgundy that offers the full range of white, red and rosé wines. Bruno Clair's rosé is part of its family history since the owner's grandfather, after returning from the war in 1919, had the idea to vinify the grapes of Pinot Noir into rosé wine for the first time. The success of this original wine was such that it became a specialty of the commune and acquired a certain amount of fame, which spread across France. The characteristics of this rosé are its fruitiness and unique flavors of Pinot Noir.
Not yet reviewed; 2021 vintage rated 92 points by Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "Clair produces a lovely, consistent rosé every year, and '21 is no exception. This wine has a pitch-perfect expression of small red fruits and floral notes on the nose and a lively, crisp structure that is elegant and ethereal but does not lack presence. It is to be greatly preferred to the ocean of insipid rosé out there. Half of the grapes were macerated for over three days for structure; the other half was pressed slowly and removed from the skins. This wine is one of the great classics of Pinot Noir rosé. Drinking Window: 2022-2032."
