In the storied vineyards of Burgundy, Chardonnay reigns supreme, but Château de Marsannay preserves a rare and captivating piece of regional history with its Pinot Beurot. 'Beurot' is the ancient Burgundian moniker for Pinot Gris, named after the 'bure'—the rustic, tawny-colored wool robes worn by the medieval Cistercian monks who once tended these very slopes. This wine is a tribute to that heritage, sourced from select parcels where the grape thrives on classic clay-limestone soils. Crafted with traditional Burgundian vinification techniques, including aging in French oak, it yields a textured, medium-bodied white wine that beautifully balances ripe orchard fruit and subtle spice with a refreshing mineral backbone, offering a delicious window into Burgundy's diverse ampelographic past.
