This village appellation, one of the largest on the Côte de Beaune, covers 475 hectares, 337 of which are classified as 1er Cru.

Dominating the town of Beaune to its extreme north, just above the Clos du Roi plot, the “Marconnets” climat (origin of the Germanic word Marconnens) covers a little more than 9 hectares, of which only 3 hectares are dedicated to the grape variety. Chardonnay.

Today, works agree that the climate takes its name from the spring which once passed around and which is mentioned in several period records. The term is also derived from the old French “marc” meaning marsh.

Direct pressing of the bunches, harvested by hand, then settling for 72 hours. Fermentation took place entirely in barrels and aging continued for 12 months in these barrels (20% of which were new barrels). A light batonnage is carried out to provide strength and length in the mouth to this great wine.

The Weather : Uncertain conditions, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds. The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
