Château de Marsannay’s 'Les 3C' is a thoughtful Pinot Noir cuvée that celebrates the art of Burgundian blending. The '3C' refers to three distinct climats selected from the estate's holdings, combined to create a harmonious expression that transcends any single parcel. Crafted with the estate's signature dedication to organic viticulture, the hand-harvested grapes undergo traditional fermentation followed by aging in French oak casks. This approach preserves the bright, energetic red fruit profile characteristic of the northern Côte de Nuits while imparting a delicate structural complexity. The resulting wine offers a beautiful tapestry of wild strawberries, red cherries, and subtle forest floor notes, grounded by fine-grained tannins.
