Marsannay holds a unique and prestigious distinction in Burgundy as the only communal appellation permitted to produce rosé wines under its AOC designation. This historical specialty was famously championed in the early 20th century to help revitalize the region's vineyards. Château de Marsannay honors this heritage with a refined rosé crafted from Pinot Noir grown on the classic clay-limestone soils of the Côte de Nuits. To capture its delicate character, the grapes undergo a gentle direct pressing or brief skin contact, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. This traditional yet precise process preserves the vibrant red berry aromatics, crisp acidity, and subtle mineral tension that define the estate's signature style.

Situated in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, Château de Marsannay is a premier Burgundy estate with a rich heritage, currently owned by Olivier Halley who acquired the property in 2012. The estate manages approximately 40 hectares of meticulously farmed vineyards, spanning prestigious appellations from Marsannay to Gevrey-Chambertin and the Grand Cru Echezeaux. Committed to organic viticulture, the château employs traditional Burgundian vinification methods, aging its wines in French oak casks to express the precise nuances of each unique climat. Château de Marsannay is particularly celebrated for its diverse portfolio, which uniquely includes exceptional red, white, and rosé expressions, such as the historic En Montre Cul and Les Echezots.
