The Land
Marsannay is the northernmost village appellation in the Côte de Nuits, where the soils are lighter and the character sits in a different register than the famous villages to the south. It produces red, white, and rosé under its own appellation, and the best producers here make genuine Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir at village prices. Domaine Joseph Roty has farmed here for generations, applying the same old-vine attention that defines their Grand Cru work to parcels whose fruit ripens with natural freshness and mineral tension.
The Wine
100% Pinot Noir. The 2013 vintage in Burgundy was cooler and more delicate than the blockbuster years surrounding it, producing wines of elegance and acid-driven freshness rather than power and weight. In 2025, the 2013 Marsannay is in an excellent drinking window: the tannins have fully softened, the fruit has evolved toward dried cherry, forest floor, and savory earth, and a secondary complexity has emerged that young wines cannot show. This is a Roty wine with a decade of age, which is a genuine discovery at the village level.
The People
Domaine Joseph Roty is one of Gevrey-Chambertin's most storied estates, known for an extraordinary concentration of old vines averaging over 60 years across the domaine. Joseph Roty, who built the modern reputation of the estate, passed away in 2008; his sons Cyrille and Philippe now run the domaine with the same dedication to low-yield, old-vine intensity and traditional winemaking. Even at the village level, a Roty wine reflects careful farming and long élevage. Marsannay is where the estate's commitment shows at its most accessible price.
Food Pairing
Pan-roasted duck breast, roast chicken with wild mushroom sauce, rabbit in mustard, or a soft cheese plate with charcuterie. At this stage of its life, the 2013 Marsannay is the kind of bottle you open with a simple roast and realize you've found something genuinely worth paying attention to.

Burgundy, in eastern France, encompasses several subregions, but it is the Côte d'Or that is home to many of the world's most expensive and revered wines. The region, primarily a single east-facing slope, has mixed limestone soils that vary dramatically from village to village and even vineyard to vineyard. White wines, crafted from Chardonnay, range from rich and opulent to lean and intensely mineral, while Pinot Noir produces silky, perfumed red wines of exceptional finesse and complexity. Centuries of winemaking tradition have resulted in every plot being meticulously recognized and scrutinized, making the Côte d'Or a true capital of terroir.
Burgundy - Cote d'Or
Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned, notoriously difficult-to-grow, low-yielding grape that finds its ancestral home in Burgundy, France, where it produces some of the world's most elegant and nuanced wines. While Burgundy remains its spiritual heartland, Pinot Noir has since traveled the globe, finding success in other cooler climates, notably in California, Oregon, New Zealand, and Germany. This grape is a challenge for any grower, as it requires specific conditions to show its best, and yet the wines it produces are capable of such a captivating and singular character.
