Background

Marsannay is one of the few terroirs devoted to white wines in the Côte de Nuits that can equal the quality of the best villages in the Côte de Beaune. The domaine stands at 17 ha with vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin, Fixin and Marsannay. Bouvier’s grapes come from extremely low-yielding vines which are organically cultivated, becoming certified in 2013.

Tasting notes

Marsannay Le Clos Monopole has a clearly affirmed identity, with mature body, beautiful viscosity that envelops the palate, and strong minerality that structures the mouthfeel, with a long, mouth-watering finish. In its deep and subtle aromas and bouquet, you will find fresh menthol notes, pepper, acacia, pear, peach, curry, and truffles.

Winemaking

Vinified in 600 litre oak barrels for 12 months, then 6 months in stainless steel tanks.

Food pairings

Feel free to serve this wine as an aperitif, to liven up the taste buds. Le Clos is perfect with white fish, such as sea bass, or braised monkfish and mild spices, as well as shellfish. Slow-cooked poultry and seasonal vegetables are also appropriate.
