Marsannay is the village which marks the northern gateway to the Côte d'Or on leaving Dijon, the capital of Burgundy and home to the Ducs de Bourgogne. This village marks the beginning of the Route des Grands Crus which follows the N6 highway through the Côte d'Or. Marsannay received its Appellation Contrôlée as recently as 1987 in recognition of the consistently high quality of its wine.

Tasting Note
A fresh bouquet of citrus fruits. The same aromas are found upon tasting with a floral finish to the wine. Round and velvety, with a good length, it is delicious while still young but a few years of cellaring will make it even more appealing.
