Tasting
This Marsannay Blanc captivates with its pale gold color and bright sheen. On the nose, expect expressive aromas of white flowers, citrus, and orchard fruit like pear and green apple underpinned by a subtle mineral streak that hints at its limestone-rich terroir in the Côte de Nuits. The palate is fresh and lively, with crisp acidity and rounded texture from fine lees aging, delivering excellent balance and a lingering mineral finish .
Food pairings
This wine’s crispness and minerality make it a fantastic companion to a variety of dishes: think steamed seafood like scallops or prawns, flaky grilled sea bass, and shellfish with buttery sauces. It also works beautifully with poultry dishes in creamy sauces (roast chicken) and mild, soft cheeses like Brie or goat cheese its bright fruit and structural balance add freshness and depth.
