Marsannay Blanc Louis Jadot

Vineyards situation : Marsannay is the northernmost commune of the Côte d'Or, lying virtually on the outskirts of the city of Dijon, three miles north of Gevrey Chambertin.

Characteristics : In 1987, Marsannay was granted its own A.O.C. appellation and became the first village for which the appellation applies to red, white and rosé wines.

Wine making : The fermentation takes place in oak barrels, after which they are aged in barrels for 12 months before being bottled.

Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy : Maison Louis Jadot produces a nice golden Marsannay. It has a fine, open nose reminiscent of bananas, pineapples and lemon. Supple, rich and fat, this wine has a remarkably long finish. It will perfectly match ham, poultry, terrine, freshwater fish dishes and cheese like Comté.

Preservation : It will be able to age 8-12 years in perfect conditions of temperature and humidity.
