94 / 100"Its terroir-focused character is further supported by the use of Rousseau Allegro barrels for aging, allowing each varietal's unique flavors and aromas to shine through. On the palate you can expect zesty citrus notes, followed by subtle hints of stone fruits, minerals and herbs that delightfully linger on the finish. A truly outstanding expression of the region's finest varieties, Domaine Collotte's Marsonnay Blanc 2020 is an absolute must-try for any fan of French white wines."

Tasting Notes
Just a few barrels produced of this rich, intense wine which in this vintage contains 50% of Chardonnay Rose (a rare, colour mutation of Chardonnay) with 50% Chardonnay. Intense ripe exotic aromatics and great texture allied with ample structure to carry the fruit intensity. Strikingly intense. The French market wants all of this wine, so be very quick to get any of the small number of bottles that we have to plead for each year for our market. Just 3 barrels (1 new) of this remarkable wine produced. This is always the first wine to sell out each year.
