Tasting notes
Marsannay remains one of Burgundy's most undervalued appellations, and "Clos de Jeu" makes the case with quiet authority. The climat sits mid-slope on stony clay-limestone soils, ground that pushes the vine to work, and the wine shows it. The 2022 opens with a nose that is both expressive and composed: kirsch and ripe red fruit at the fore, threaded with fresh mint, gentle spice, and a breath of woodland that adds complexity without weight. The oak is there, but discreet, a frame rather than a feature. On the palate, the texture is the revelation, satin-smooth, generous, with a density that fills the mouth without ever feeling heavy. The tannins are ripe and seamlessly integrated, and the finish is long, fresh, and fruit-driven, expanding rather than fading. At the village level, this is as convincing as Marsannay gets in a warm vintage: flattering now, but built to develop. Worth every penny of the gap between its price and its pedigree.
More About The Winery
Château de Marsannay takes its name from the village it calls home, at the gateway to the Côte de Nuits. The estate owns 28 hectares of vineyards across the finest climats of the Marsannay appellation, with classification already requested for 13 of its plots.
Beyond its stronghold in Marsannay, the domaine also holds prestigious parcels in Burgundy’s greatest terroirs, including Chambertin, Ruchottes-Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, Echézeaux, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Bel-Air, Champeaux, and Vosne-Romanée En Orveaux. Château de Marsannay is also responsible for cultivating all the vines of the Hospices de Dijon across both Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune.
Owned by Olivier Halley, a passionate advocate for Burgundy and a founding patron of the Climats de Bourgogne UNESCO World Heritage site (2015), Château de Marsannay embodies both tradition and modern vision. The wines reflect the diversity of Burgundy — from expressive Pinot Noir and elegant Chardonnay to terroirs of world-class pedigree.
