Plum, beet root, and pungent smokiness of Szechuan pepper inform the nose of Morot’s 2008 Beaune Marconnets and follow on a palate of relatively refined tannins and brighter primary fruit juiciness than possessed by most of this estate’s other 2008s. Wet stone and dark chocolate add interest to a satisfyingly long finish. I expect this will be worth following for a decade.
Geoffrey Choppin de Janvry was among those growers to report that more rigorous sorting was required for his 2008 fruit than had been needed the previous vintage. I tasted his 2008s from tank, where they were spending a bit longer than usual, in order to gas-out after very late malos.
