Domaine Derey Freres Marsannay Les Champs Perdrix 2021 (750ml) *

At the northern edge of the Côte de Nuits sits Marsannay, a village-level appellation in Burgundy where Pinot Noir tends toward brightness and finesse rather than sheer weight, and Domaine Derey Freres draws its Les Champs Perdrix bottling from the 2021 vintage there. This is red Burgundy in a fairly transparent, food-friendly register, the kind of Pinot Noir that leans on red fruit and structure over power.
