✨ Technical Specifications
The Marsannay Rouge from Château de Marsannay is a definitive expression of the northernmost appellation of the Côte de Nuits. Historically known as the 'Golden Gate' to this prestigious sub-region, Marsannay has a viticultural legacy dating back to the Dukes of Burgundy. This cuvée is crafted from Pinot Noir grown on complex soils of hard limestone, crinoidal limestone, and clay-marl. The estate employs traditional Burgundian vinification, utilizing gravity-fed systems and aging in French oak casks. The resulting wine captures the classic Marsannay character: a robust structure, vibrant red fruit profile, and an earthy complexity that reflects the unique microclimates of the region.
