The 2024 Domaine Collotte Marsannay Les Grasses Têtes is a perfumed and finely detailed Pinot Noir from one of Marsannay’s highly regarded lieux-dits. It displays lifted aromas of ripe raspberry, red cherry and darker berries, accompanied by lilac, subtle earth, bright spice and gentle toasted-oak notes.
On the palate, it is silky and concentrated, with pure red fruit, lively acidity and finely shaped tannins. The clay-limestone terroir contributes depth and mineral definition, while savoury spice and restrained oak provide complexity. Generous yet elegant, it finishes long, fresh and beautifully composed.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy lovers seeking an expressive, site-specific Pinot Noir with both immediate appeal and cellaring potential. Decant for around one hour if enjoying young or cellar through 2035. Ideal with roast duck, grilled beef, game birds, charcuterie, mushroom dishes or washed-rind cheese.
