{"title":"Marsannay-la-Côte","description":"\u003cp\u003eJust south of Dijon, Marsannay-la-Côte gives its name to the northernmost Village appellation of the \u003cstrong\u003eCôte de Nuits\u003c\/strong\u003e, its “golden gateway” according to the appellation rules. The appellation, called simply Marsannay, also includes Chenôve and Couchey and is the only one at its level in Burgundy permitted in \u003cstrong\u003ethree colors\u003c\/strong\u003e: red, white, and rosé.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vines are documented from the seventh century. At Chenôve the Dukes of Burgundy had an estate that later passed to the Kings of France, hence the name Clos du Roy; the two ducal presses have been a listed historic monument since 1934. In the nineteenth century the growth of Dijon steered the vineyards toward Gamay and everyday wine; the return to fine wines began in the 1930s, and in the 1960s Pinot Noir rosé made Marsannay's name. The appellation dates from the decree of \u003cstrong\u003eMay 19, 1987\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards climb from 255 to 390 meters, facing from east to south, on Jurassic limestones and marls. On the limestone gravels at the mouths of the combes, the wines show immediate fruit and a supple texture; on the slope, where the soil is thin and clayey, Pinot Noir gains color, structure, and staying power. Red prevails; the whites come from Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are no Grands Crus and, for now, no Premiers Crus, but the label may state the climat of origin. Growers have put forward 14 of them for Premier Cru status, from the Clos du Roy in the north to the Champs Perdrix in the south; between July and September 2026 the INAO held a public consultation on the proposed Premier Cru delimitation.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lou-dumont-marsannay-bio-2023-075","title":"Lou Dumont Marsannay Organic 2023 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Marsannay Bio from Maison Lou Dumont is a Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits, made from organically farmed grapes, in a 0.75-liter bottle. It comes from Marsannay-la-Côte, on the outskirts of Dijon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaison Lou Dumont was founded in 2000 in Gevrey-Chambertin, where its cellar is still located. It was founded by Koji Nakada, a Japanese sommelier who left Tokyo in 1996 to study oenology in Beaune, and Jae Hwa Park, a Korean woman from Busan who came to France to study restoration: the two met in Dijon. The name combines Lou, their goddaughter’s name, and Dumont, “of the mountain,” a reminder of the hills where they grew up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe house buys grapes from trusted winegrowers and has also worked its own vineyards since 2012. The rule is to use only vines at least thirty years old. In the cellar, Koji Nakada intervenes little: pump-overs and punch-downs are kept to a minimum, to avoid over-extraction and preserve the wine’s transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarsannay is the northernmost appellation of the Côte de Nuits, recognized in 1987, and the only village appellation in Burgundy to include reds, whites, and rosés. The vineyards climb the hills above Dijon, on limestone and marl soils. The village lies just a few kilometers from the center of Dijon, and is the first vineyard encountered along the Route des Grands Crus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage in Burgundy was abundant, with a warm summer and a generous harvest.
