Although classically Gevrey for its breadth and corpulence, there is a gentleness and smoothness that draws you in. Fullsome and bursting with sweet damson fruit and a balancing savoury hint of forest floor and stone. This is full, hearty but beautifully soft-textured, engaging and alluring. Situated on the north side of Gevrey this has similar soils to the limestone of Marsannay's Clos de Jeu, packed full of fossils and minerals.
Since 2012 Château de Marsannay has been owned by the Halley family, at the same time they bought the Château de Meursault. They own 34 hectares of superbly situated vines, and as with Château de Meursault, have invested heavily in realising the estate’s huge potential. The Domaine is managed by Château de Meursault’s Stephane Follin-Arbelet, who is overseeing a quality revolution, but Château de Marsannay have their own winemaking team, lead by the fantastic, and award-winning, Sylvain Pabion. Winemaking is classic and adaptive, largely de-stalked but with whole bunches when necessary, a cold-soaked prior to fermentation and then ageing in a mixture of new and used oak barriques for over a year. Alongside Château de Meursault, this is on course to become one of the largest organic certified estates in the Côte d'Or.
