In search for cheaper versions of Burgundy reds two different Marsannay were bought. "Les Favierees" and "Clos du Roy" both created by Charles Audoin.
Both beautiful light red colour with purple rim and a nice pinot noir nose with raspberries, touch of flowers and some oak. So far so good.
In the mouth quite silky and elegant, but unfortunately it all stops there due to an acidity that makes you wonder why you are drinking this. Trying to match the the acidity with different food did not help either, it broke through time after time.
With a bottle costing around 20 to 40€ it would be much better to spend some few more kroners or € and buy something from around Beaune instead of this appelation just south of Dijon.
Marsannay "Les Favierees" and "Clos du Roy" 2007 by Audoin. "Cheap" Burgundy which don't impress me much
