Critics reviews
The name refers to a small tower located just behind the domaine; the fruit comes from 6 different lieux-dits.
A more floral-suffused nose presents a range of aromas that include violet, dark currant and black cherry. The very supple and fleshy middleweight flavours possess a seductive texture while exhibiting enough depth and persistence in the balanced finale to be interesting. This, too, could easily be enjoyed young.

Just racked. A rich purple colour. Inky and concentrated, slightly lactic, with good acidity behind, a mix of red and black fruit, and slight gamey sweetness at the finish, but I think nothing sinister. Plenty of wine here once again.

The 2022 Marsannay Cuvée St Urbain had been racked the previous month for bottling in January or February. Including one-third whole bunches, the attractive nose offers brambly black fruit mixed with graphite touches. The medium-bodied palate has edgy tannins, just a splash of balsamic infusing the mainly black fruit with a composed finish. Give it a few months in bottle.
