Clos Marey-Monge 75 Rangs 2018
-
The 75 rows of the eponymous cuvée allow us to develop a wine with a ruby color, reputed to be the backbone of our Clos Marey-Monge Monopole. Its nose reveals aromas of rose and red fruit highlighted by iodine and mineral notes. The palate is fresh and deliciously chiseled. The tannins are silky and the wine's airy side is reinforced by a singular salinity. With its saline, mineraly finish, our 75 Rangs 2018 stands out as a refined wine built for aging.
