About the wine
A mouthwateringly smooth red of some serious pedigree
- Hot off the blocks from one of the most noteworthy wine making villages in the prestigious Cote de Nuits region of Burgundy, this traditional Marsanny is simply rather charming.
- Made with oodles of TLC, boutique making technique and years of winemaking knowledge to boot (this winemaking family have been going strong for 5 long generations), you can drink easy in the knowledge that this is some of the best stuff Burgundy has to offer.
- This is a classic Marsanny - fruit forward with a defined focus on juicy red fruit flavours. Think bright cherries, a smoother than smooth mouthfeel and just the slightest hint of warming oak. There’s no doubt that this classy number will put a big old smile on your face.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Virginie and Philippe Bernard
- Virginie and Philippe are a father-daughter duo with winemaking in the blood, it's kind of just what the Bernards do... and you bet they do it well. In 1918 the family bought a small plot of land near Dijon, and now 4 generations down the line, what was once a small family vineyard stretches over 19 hectares.
- Philippe, one of 8, and Virginie, one of 4, both spent their childhoods surrounded by the vines and picking odd jobs in the cellar - it's simply a matter of tradition. But there was no teenage rebellion to be found here - whilst both father and daughter moved away from the family vineyard, Philippe to pursue Oenology and Virginie to work in food, neither could resist returning to the winery and continuing its legacy.
- It turns out the pair make one hell of a team who are utterly dedicated to every last inch of the process, from the vine to bottle. They exclusively use traditional methods of winemaking that they have been honing in the Domaine du Clos Saint-Louis for going on five generations. This is small scale winemaking at it's best.
