✨ Technical Specifications
This exceptional cuvée represents a historic partnership established in 2013, wherein Château de Marsannay assumed sole stewardship of the legendary vineyards belonging to the Hospices de Dijon. Dating back to the 1200s, the Hospices de Dijon accumulated precious parcels through centuries of donations from pious benefactors. Among these, the 'Vigne de l'Hospital' holds a sacred place. The 'Cuvée Prieur Louis Berrier' pays homage to a historical prior of the hospital who dedicated his life to the care of the sick and the preservation of the region's viticultural heritage. Under the meticulous care of Château de Marsannay, these Pinot Noir plots are farmed organically and vinified using traditional Burgundian methods, including aging in fine French oak casks. The resulting wine is a profound expression of the Côte de Nuits, balancing vibrant red berry fruit, earthy forest floor undertones, and a refined, mineral-driven structure that reflects its noble origins.
