Lou Dumont Marsannay Organic 2023 AOC 0,75l

The 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.

Maison 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.

The 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.

Marsannay 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.

The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was abundant, with a warm summer and a generous harvest. A red Marsannay is usually a Pinot Noir with fresh fruit, enjoyable in its first few years and able to age well for a few years in the bottle.

In Lou Dumont’s range, Marsannay is the first of the Côte de Nuits villages, alongside Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis. Serve at 15-16 °C with cured meats, roast poultry, or mushrooms.
