Wine Region: Burgundy - France
Grape: 100% Pinot Noir.
Tasting notes: A concentrated Clos de Jeu, powerful whilst retaining its characteristic voluptuous, rounded nature. Smooth, dark fruit of cherry, sloe and damson caress the palate with a cashmere touch. Sensual, joyful and generous. A superb parcel, sitting just above the Chateau planted on poor soils that are rich in limestone. Fermented with a third whole-bunches.
About the winery: Château de Marsannay bears the name of the village that hosts it.
