Tasting Notes
Cyril Audoin and his father constantly debate which of Champ Salomon and Favières is the better plot in Marsannay. They’re both extremely impressive in 2022, although the Champ Salomon is offering more at this youthful stage. The nose is creamy, scented and sweet, enticing with plump strawberry and raspberry, then there’s a rush of juicy bright fruit that fills the palate – powerful, expansive, dark yet bright and crunchy berry fruit. There’s a pleasingly bitter, hickory-smoke edge, along with lifted peony and violet tones. Lush, juicy and hard to resist.

The 2022 Marsannay Au Champ Salomon offers up aromas of minty wild berries, cherries, orange zest, spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it's bright and layered, with powdery tannins and a long, resonant finish.
There is a lovely perfumed quality to the very fresh red currant and newly turned earth scents where a trace of the sauvage creeps in. I very much like the texture of the medium weight and lightly stony flavors that possess fine mid-palate density along with almost painful intense that carries over to the balanced and beautifully long finale. This possesses excellent development potential and thus some patience will be necessary. Drink 2032+. Outstanding Top value.
