Hailing from the northern reaches of the Côte de Nuits, the Marsannay 'Les Longerois' from Domaine Geantet-Pansiot showcases the exceptional potential of one of Marsannay's most revered lieux-dits, often considered a prime candidate for future Premier Cru status. The vineyard of Les Longerois is highly regarded for its iron-rich, clay-limestone soils, which yield Pinot Noir of remarkable depth, structure, and intense color. Geantet-Pansiot applies its signature meticulous approach to this parcel, utilizing rigorous grape sorting and a cold pre-fermentation maceration that coaxes out vibrant fruit aromatics and plush textures. Historically, Marsannay was celebrated for its rosé, but pioneering work by estates like Geantet-Pansiot has elevated its red wines, capturing a beautiful balance of wild berry fruit, earthy complexity, and refined rusticity that rivals its prestigious neighbors to the south.
