One racking before bottling. Description The 2000 Marsannay from Domaine Trapet is light, fresh, clean and delicious. It combines pretty aromas of cherry and wildflowers and bright, sweet fruit on the palate. This is delightful, pure Pinot Noir to be enjoyed greatly in the flower of its youth. Reviews for 2000 Vintage From the International Wine Cellar (Mar/Apr 2003): "Points: 85. Moderately saturated medium red. Slightly roasted aromas of plum, redcurrant and chocolate. Fat, soft and sweet, with modest verve and clarity but good texture and weight in the mouth." © International Wine Cellar Reviews for 2001 Vintage From the International Wine Cellar (Mar/Apr 2003): "Points: 85-86. Good medium red.  Somewhat sauvage aromas of plum and smoked meat. Sweet fruit nicely firmed by sound acidity. Finishes with firm, building tannins and a note of spice." © International Wine Cellar Reviews for 2002 Vintage From the The Wine Advocate, Issue 151 (Feb 2004): "Points: 88. Dark plumy fruits are found in the expressive aromatics of the 2002 Marsannay. Soft, supple, rich, and medium-bodied, it offers velvety flavors reminiscent of blackberry paste. Drink it over the next 3-4 years." © The Wine Advocate
