Marsannay 2013

Grape Variety : Pinot Noir

Soil : Clay and limestone

Site : This village is located in the northern part of the Côte de Nuits in a short distance of Dijon, the regional capital.

The Vintage 2013 : After a very cold winter and a cool and humid spring, the weather became really fine and warm end of July. The sunny weather and the warm temperatures engendered a slow ripening process of the grapes. The harvest commenced mid September under a bright sunshine. The combination of all those climatic factors and meticulous vinifications have produced wines with very pure aromas and a crunchy texture. Aging in oak casks.

Tasting : Bright ruby colour. Intense aromas of red berries mixed with spices. Generous texture framed by mouth coating tannins but without any harshness. Intense with a well-shaped structure. Long and refreshing aftertaste.

Food pairing : Enjoy with red or white meat, game, cheeses, especially the local cheeses like Epoisses or Citeaux.
