Plot
Marsannay blanc, made mainly from Chardonnay grapes, is produced in the commune of Marsannay-la-Côte in the Côte de Nuits, at the northern end of wine-growing Burgundy. Its terroir is based on clay-limestone and marl-limestone soils, giving the wines a fine minerality and elegant structure.
Vinification / Aging
The grapes are pressed directly after harvesting, followed by 100% alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, 15% of which are new. The wine is aged for around 15 months before being prepared for bottling.

Food and wine pairing
Marsannay Blanc goes perfectly with seafood, grilled fish or fish in sauce, as well as white meats such as chicken in cream sauce. It is also a perfect accompaniment to soft cheeses with a bloomy rind, such as Brie or Camembert.
