The 1er cru "Champeaux" 2021 by Château de Marsannay is a Gevrey-Chambertin wine that stems from the eponymous climat, located in the north of the appellation. With a surface area of 29 ares, this east-facing terroir lies on a thin brown clay-limestone soil.

Vinification and ageing

The hand-picked grapes are rigorously sorted on a table. Following a total destemming, the grapes are placed in temperature-controlled wooden vats, where they undergo a cold pre-fermentation maceration. Alcoholic fermentation is accompanied by punching down and pumping over to encourage extraction. The wine is then pressed and aged for 12 months in barrels (75% new), followed by a further 5-month ageing period in the cellar.

The blend

Pinot Noir (100%).
