The Story
Domaine Vieux College Marsannay Rouge Les Favieres 2018
Marsannay is the most northern appellation of the Côte de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy. The communal (village level) appellation is unique in Burgundy for covering red, white and rosé wine. Other than Marsannay, the production of rosé wines is restricted to Bourgogne.
The grapes used to produce Marsannay wine are the key varieties found throughout the Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is the principal variety used for reds. Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc are employed for whites (Pinot Gris is also permitted in small quantities). A combination of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, with up to 10 percent Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, goes into the rosé wines.
