Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

Marsannay, just south of Dijon, makes red Burgundy with a true Côte de Nuits profile: dark, spicy, and irresistibly tart. Les Longeroies is one of the most esteemed lieux-dits in the appellation, producing hearty yet refined wines from a vineyard that also happens to be eligible for promotion to premier cru designation. Since French bureaucrats aren’t known for their quick turnaround time, don’t expect a label update soon, but do keep your eye on this village, notably this cuvée, whose star has been on the rise for quite some time.
