Country: France, Burgundy Côte de Nuits
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Marsannay is the latest AOC Burgundy (1987) and was promoted to the rank of the communal appellation. It belongs to the prestigious vineyards of the Côte de Nuits which opens the doors to the immediate south of Dijon. Its area is 130 hectares and has the particularity of having a tri-colour production.
Geological profile: This wine takes its name from the composition of the soil on which it is planted: dark brown soil, covered with thin silt and fine clay. We note the presence of stones and gravel, encouraging good drainage.
Vinification & Ageing: The wine was aged in old barrels 100%.
Tasting Notes: `Coeur d`Argile` loosely translates as `heart of clay` and refers to the clay-rich soils at the foot of the Marsannay slopes. This clay content gives the wine good structure, rich fleshy fruit and precise tannins which help it age.
Food Pairing: This Marsannay rouge will be perfect with a duck or its magrets.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the "Big Daddy" of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world. It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or.
Burgundy is Chardonnay`s spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvelous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
It is quantitatively important in California and Australia, is widely planted in Chile and South Africa, and is the second most widely planted grape in New Zealand. In warm climates Chardonnay has a tendency to develop very high sugar levels during the final stages of ripening and this can occur at the expense of acidity. Late picking is a common problem and can result in blowsy and flabby wines that lack structure and definition.
Recently in the New World, we have seen a move towards more elegant, better- balanced and less oak-driven Chardonnays, and this is to be welcomed.
