Description
Marsannay is the village which marks the northern gateway to the Cote 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 Cote d'Or. Marsannay received its Appellation Controlée as recently as 1987 in recognition of the consistently high quality of its wine.
Tasting notes
Our Marsannay 2016 reveals a pale yellow colour. On the nose, aromas of fresh almonds and vanilla go together elegantly. The ample mouth offers lovely aromas of yellow
fruits, especially apricot.
