The Precision and Delicacy of a Burgundy Wine by Château de Marsannay

The Estate

Located at the gateway to the Côte de Nuits, Château de Marsannay is an essential estate in Burgundy, France. Although its lands boast an ancient winegrowing heritage, the official creation of the current structure dates back to 1990. The estate now oversees a 40-hectare vineyard, farmed entirely according to organic principles. Since its acquisition in 2012, the property has been run by Olivier Halley, its current owner, who brings a dynamic focus on excellence, respect for terroir, and a sustainable environmental approach.

The Vineyard

This cuvée comes from a very small 0.25-hectare plot located within the Fixin appellation. Facing due south to capture optimal sunlight, the vines thrive at the base of the slope. They grow on a complex terroir made up of a clay-limestone substrate mixed with conical scree, giving the wine all its distinctiveness and tension.

The Vintage

2024 proved particularly demanding from a weather standpoint. The growing cycle was marked by relentless spring rains, high fungal disease pressure, as well as localised hail episodes and uneven flowering. Despite these climatic challenges, which led to a significant drop in yields, the harvested grapes made it possible to craft wines of great purity, marked by freshness and a beautiful transparency of terroir.

Winemaking and Aging

True to the estate's philosophy, this Fixin Village 2024 benefits from a minimal-intervention approach in the cellar. Vinification is carried out plot by plot to scrupulously respect the identity and natural expression of this specific terroir.

Grape Variety

100% Pinot Noir.
