Marsannay is the northernmost appellation in the Côtes de Nuits and is the only appellation to have AOC status for the production of red, white, and rosé wine. The climate is continental here, with warm, sunny days during the growing season, and cool evenings, which allows for the gradual ripening of the fruit with a natural balancing acidity. The vineyard is situated in the lieu-dit of Sampagny where the vines are cultivated traditionally and the grapes are hand-harvested at optimal maturity.
