✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled in the cooler, wind-swept combe of Marsannay, the 'Les Echezots' climat is celebrated for its unique microclimate and stony, limestone-rich soils. The name itself whispers of ancient history, sharing its etymological origin with the grand 'Echezeaux'—derived from the Latin word for rural dwellings or huts. This high-altitude vineyard benefits from slow, steady ripening, which preserves a vibrant acidity and imparts a distinct mineral tension to the wine. Château de Marsannay coaxes the finest expression from this terroir through traditional Burgundian vinification, aging the wine in French oak casks. The result is a classic Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir that balances bright red berry fruit with earthy undertones and fine-grained tannins, embodying the rustic elegance of Burgundy's northern gateway.
