✨ Technical Specifications
Château de Marsannay's Marsannay Blanc is a brilliant showcase of the Côte de Nuits' unique ability to produce exceptional white wines, a rarity in a subregion dominated by Pinot Noir. Marsannay is famously the only village appellation in the Côte de Nuits to officially produce red, white, and rosé wines. This cuvée is crafted from Chardonnay grown on the area's classic argilo-calcaire (clay-limestone) soils, which impart a signature mineral tension and crisp acidity. Historically, the vineyards of Marsannay were highly prized by the Dukes of Burgundy, and today, the estate honors this legacy through meticulous organic farming. The wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels, blending traditional Burgundian richness with a vibrant, modern purity of fruit.
