Hailing from the northernmost appellation of the Cote de Nuits, the Marsannay Les Terres Blanches by Philippe Charlopin-Parizot is a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir grown on the distinct, light-colored marly limestone soils that give the climat its name. While these white, limestone-heavy soils are highly coveted for white wines, they impart a remarkable mineral precision, bright acidity, and elegant structure to this red Burgundy. Influenced by the legendary Henri Jayer, Charlopin utilizes pre-fermentation cold maceration and careful oak aging to tame the naturally firm structure of Marsannay, resulting in a red wine of surprising fleshiness, vibrant red berry aromatics, and a stony, energetic finish.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1977 by Philippe Charlopin with just 1.5 hectares of inherited vines, Domaine Philippe Charlopin-Parizot has grown into a highly respected estate based in Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy. Under the early mentorship of the legendary Henri Jayer, Philippe adopted a philosophy focused on low yields, complete destemming, and cold maceration, resulting in rich, voluptuous, and deeply expressive wines. Today, Philippe is joined by his son Yann, who oversees the white wine vinification, managing over 25 hectares of exceptional vineyards across the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Chablis. The domaine is highly acclaimed for its lush, velvety Pinot Noirs—including old-vine village and Grand Cru expressions—as well as its precise, elegant Chardonnays.
