Marsannay

penetration capacity by the plant’s roots) Grape variety: 100% pinot noir.

Culture:
Respect for wine-growing traditions, organic wine- growing in order to be more attuned to the plant

Wine making:
Alcoholic fermentation in vats and second fermentation in oak barrels.

Ageing:
12 months in oak barrels and casks, with 25% of new wood.

Tasting:
The colour is always of good intensity, limpid and brilliant, with ruby tints, with touches of purple when the wine is young. The nose is also intense and reveals a wide range of red fruits. This wine draws a lot of sensuality from its soil, with good consistency and a joyful texture. It is the most powerful of the wines born on the vast alluvial cone spread out at the outlet of the combes to the north-west of the village.
