Geantet-Pansiot Marsannay Rouge is grown on a 1 ha / 2,5 acres vineyard, with vines planted in 1980 on clay & limestone soil in the village of Marsannay.
- Marsannay is one of the village on the most eastern side of Côte de Nuits, close to Dijon.
- Only Burgundy village appellation to be found in three colors, red, white & rosé, Marsannay is typical from Côtes de Nuits, with a style close to its neighbors Gevrey-Chambertin & Fixin. - With intense colour and fruity bouquet, Marsannay rouge's powerful and generous attack leads to a full body with fine length.
From the Importer:
The Pansiot favor natural extraction and the fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts. Pre-fermentative cold maceration and light carbonic maceration are carried out to obtain a rarely equaled fruit intensity. The fermentations are launched with native yeasts and the process is different each year depending on the typicality of the vintage.
Aged for 14 months in barrels renewed with 30% new wood, without racking, fining, clarification or filtration. The estate has beautiful vaulted cellars dating from 1840 to age the wines.
The wines of DOMAINE GEANTET-PANSIOT show three particular characteristics:
- a very crunchy and gourmet fruitiness,
- an exceptional density,
- and an impressive aging potential.
Very discrete but well-known from connoisseurs, the DOMAINE GEANTET-PANSIOT has quietly moved up toward the elite of Gevrey-Chambertin. The Geantet-Pansiot estate was founded in 1954 when Edmond Geantet married Bernadette Pansiot and the newlyweds started to make wine on 3 hectares / 7 acres of vineyard spread on both Gevrey-Chambertin and Bourgogne designations. After having enlarged the domaine with the purchase of other hectares, in 1977, their son Vincent joined them in the family business and has been in charge since 1989. A third generation is in the wings as Vincent’s son, Fabien, has been working with his dad since the age of twelve, officially joining him in 2006. Fabien GEANTET is therefore the third generation to farm the vineyard created in 1954 by his grand-parents.
The trust shared between father and son allows the domaine to rapidly optimize its production and to implement new methods successfully. GEANTET-PANSIOT has acquired the plots year after year. Radiating from its cellars located in the emblematic village of Gevrey-Chambertin, the DOMAINE GEANTET-PANSIOT today farms 24 ha / 59 acres mainly in Côte de Nuits, but also in Côte de Beaune.The domaine farms plots in 1er Cru climats such as Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Le Poissenot, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes & Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes, as well as Grand Crus such as Charmes Chambertin.
A fresh, cool and airy nose also reflects a variety of red berry scents though with less prominent earth and floral influences. There is markedly more minerality suffusing the beautifully detailed and notably finer medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a dusty, youthfully austere and balanced finale. Some patience needed. 2027+
