Appellations
Village · Côte de Nuits
Marsannay
red and white · 230
The northern end of the Côte de Nuits, and the only appellation permitted all three colours.
Under the vines
Lighter and more gravelly than the villages south of it, on the edge of Dijon's suburbs.
In the glass
Lighter and earlier than its neighbours; the rosé is the region's best known.
Why it sits here
Has a premier cru application in progress that has been running for over a decade.
Commonly misread
That having no premiers crus means the ground is poor. It means the paperwork is not finished.
