✨ Technical Specifications
This historic cuv e traces its lineage back to 1206, when Duke Eudes III of Burgundy generously donated parcels of vines to the Hospital of Dijon to support its charitable missions. Today, Ch teau de Marsannay proudly stewards these ancient clay-limestone soils. The resulting Pinot Noir is a beautiful tribute to Burgundy's medieval heritage, showcasing a vibrant bouquet of red cherries, forest floor, and delicate spice. Crafted with traditional Burgundian techniques and aged in French oak casks, this wine balances bright acidity with elegant, fine-grained tannins, embodying the soul of the northern gateway to the C te de Nuits.
🍾 About the Producer
Constructed in 1990 by wine merchant André Boisseaux and acquired in 2012 by Olivier Halley, Château de Marsannay serves as the northern beacon of the Côte de Nuits. Managing approximately 40 hectares of vines—including 28 hectares sited across premier climats of Marsannay and choice parcels in Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, and Grand Cru plots like Ruchottes-Chambertin and Clos de Vougeot—the estate also vinifies historic holdings for the Hospices de Dijon. Viticulture is certified organic through Ecocert, emphasizing precise soil biodiversity, Poussard sap-flow pruning, and cover crops. Under technical director Sylvain Pabion, vinification champions parcel-specific clarity: hand-harvested fruit is sorted meticulously, partially whole-cluster fermented with native yeasts, and matured in fine-grained French oak with restrained extraction. Château de Marsannay remains singular for mastering Marsannay's unique triumvirate of styles—structural red Pinot Noir, mineral-taut Chardonnay and Pinot Beurot, and textured gastronomic rosé—championing premier cru elevation across historic terroirs such as Clos du Roy and Clos de Jeu.
