Joseph Roty Marsannay Clos de Jeu 2003
T-notes > Olfactory impressions - Full fledged toffee, caramel and Illy caffe' aromas. On the palate, very ripe blackish fruit with elegant layers of rich chocolate. Class personified. Superb quality @ this price point. Have had all of Roty's Marsannays in 01 & 02 and loved them across the board. This 03 seems to me to have somewhat less structure but is hard to beat for immediate gratification.

I just sampled a few Mercureys of the same vintage. They were nice values though I suspect less expensive than Marsannays typically run for. How much does this one retail for?
Any general comparison with reputable Mercureys?
I think the Clos de Jeu are Roty's oldest vines in Marsannay. That should always mean something. Generally speaking this and the St. Etienne cuvees are his most special Marsannays.
This should retail at just under US$30 or thereabouts.
Haven't had too many Mercureys recently, save for a bottle of Faiveley 1er Clos du Roy 02 which I found rather unpleasant.
Henry, want to weigh in on this one?
