Gevrey Chambertin 2023 Domaine des Marronniers

Gevrey-Chambertin 2023 – Domaine des Marronniers

The Noble Face of Pinot Noir

The Gevrey-Chambertin 2023 reveals the intense and structured side of Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. It’s a refined, complex wine that reflects both power and Burgundian finesse.

Vineyard Philosophy

Grapes come from sustainably farmed limestone-clay soils, including old vines that naturally limit yields. This ensures depth, aromatic precision and a structured profile.

Winemaking Approach

Traditional vinification with native yeasts, partial destemming, and extended maceration. The wine matures in Burgundian oak barrels (30% new) for 14 months, resulting in a balanced, textured red.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red with garnet reflections.
Aromas of black cherry, forest floor, black pepper and a hint of licorice.
On the palate it is full-bodied and firm, with refined tannins and a long mineral finish.

Food Pairings

Pairs beautifully with braised meats, game, beef stew, mature cheeses, or porcini mushrooms. A classic red for rich cuisine.

Domaine des Marronniers: Tradition and Precision in the Heart of Chablis

A Story Rooted in Burgundy

Domaine des Marronniers is a family-run estate located in Préhy, at the heart of the Chablis region in Burgundy. With generations of winemaking heritage, the Malandain family combines tradition with a deep respect for the land. The estate spans about 20 hectares, planted on classic Kimmeridgian soils rich in marine fossils, lending a unique minerality and longevity to the wines. Each vineyard parcel is tended with artisanal care to express the essence of its terroir.

Vineyard Philosophy

Viticulture here is sustainable and reasoned, focused on protecting biodiversity and soil health. Synthetic chemicals are avoided, with each intervention carefully chosen to promote vine vitality and balance. Controlled grass cover, selective pruning, and manual thinning ensure healthy, concentrated grapes. Marronniers values authenticity over volume, seeking fruit that reflects its natural environment.

Approach in the Cellar

Winemaking at Domaine des Marronniers follows a clean and minimal intervention philosophy. Stainless steel tanks are used for fermentation to preserve the freshness and precision of the Chardonnay grape. Sulfites are used sparingly, and bâtonnage, when applied, is gentle and measured. Ageing occurs on fine lees, in steel or occasionally in neutral oak depending on the cuvée, delivering wines that are bright, expressive, and true to origin.

The Wines: Pure, Mineral-Driven Chablis

The domaine crafts various expressions of Chablis and Petit Chablis, with a focus on clarity and terroir. Highlights include the Chablis Vieilles Vignes, from vines over 45 years old, and several Premier Cru parcels such as Montmains and Vaucoupin, offering layered complexity and precision. These wines stand out for their saline, fresh, and linear profile, with elegant evolution in bottle. They are classic, unpretentious examples of true Chablis.
