Marsannay is a small appellation of 245 hectares located south of Dijon, marking the beginning of the Côte de Nuits. The AOC produces mostly red wines made from the pinot noir grape variety even if a few white wines made from chardonnay are produced as well as a few wines rosés. The terroir of the area is clay-limestone and most of the wines have beautiful finesse and are very appreciable during their youth on the fruit. However, on the best exposed plots, certain red wines can show a very beautiful character and a more marked tannic presence. Marsannay is an appellation that still allows you to find good value for money for Burgundy.
