Marsannay Le Chapitre 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This wine originates in a parcel of 4 acres within this recently elevated (from regional to village) vineyard. Positioned at the northern edge of the Cote d'Or and very close to the outskirts of Dijon, this is a good source of red wines showing remarkable finesse yet offering great value. Soils are a mix of clay, silt and small stones on a gentle slope. Viticulture is now fully organic, and winemaking is traditional.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
This red wine is sturdy and structured, with a profusion of dark fruits tinged by floral notes, and enjoyable in youth where the robust fruitiness dominates, yet is capable of aging for up to 10 – 12 years.
