The Land
Marsannay is the only village appellation in Burgundy that makes wine in all three colors, and the only one on the Côte d'Or still waiting on its premier crus. The dossier went in back in 2011. The INAO decided in June 2026 to open public consultation on the revised parcel boundaries, running 15 July to 15 September 2026 across Chenôve, Marsannay-la-Côte and Couchey. Au Quartier sits in Couchey, in the southern stretch between the village and Fixey, and it is one of five lieux-dits set to be merged into a future premier cru called Champs Perdrix, 34.1 hectares altogether. Mid-Jurassic clay-limestone, east to southeast exposure, 255 to 390 meters across the appellation with the proposed cru sites sitting between 280 and 330.
The Wine
100% Pinot Noir, 12.5%. Fermented in small 15-hectoliter stainless tanks on ambient yeast, cooled only during vatting, with two punchdowns at the start and daily pump-overs after that. That is a deliberately gentle extraction, and it suits a vintage this fragile. Under 30% new oak, lightly toasted, and a short élevage. Spiced blackberry, flowers, fresh red and black fruit, fine tannins, an obvious current of freshness running underneath. The 2024 story in Marsannay is specific and worth knowing: this was the commune hit hardest by the April frost, down to minus 5 degrees, damaging 80% of the most exposed parcels, and a hailstorm followed on 20 May in the northern part of the appellation. Au Quartier sits at the southern end in Couchey, out of the worst of that hail. Burgundy's red crop finished more than a third below 2023, and no recent vintage has rewarded careful picking this heavily.
The People
Bastien Gautheron founded Maison Gautheron d'Anost in 2020, first generation, no inherited domaine behind him. Anost is a Morvan village west of the Côte d'Or where his mother's family comes from. He started oenology at 15, trained at the Lycée Viticole de Beaune, and spent his twenties at Olivier Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet before leaving in 2019 to make his own wine. Around a fifth of production comes from his own vines in Savigny-lès-Beaune and the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, certified organic since 2017; everything else is bought fruit from growers working organically or effectively so, not all of it certified. The cellar is a converted warehouse in Dijon's Arsenal district, and 2024 came to roughly 12,000 bottles across 40 barrels. On sulfur he is precise rather than dogmatic: a small addition at the start of fermentation, then nothing until the wine is prepared for bottling.
Food Pairing
Marsannay rouge is built for the table rather than the cellar, and 2024 sharpens that further. Roast pork with mustard and cream, a board of good charcuterie with cornichons, coq au vin, or freshwater fish in a red wine sauce, which sounds wrong and is the local answer. Époisses or a ripe Brie if you are ending a meal rather than building one. Serve at 15 degrees. Open it young, drink it with dinner, and stop treating Burgundy as something that requires an occasion.
We ship wine to most states with a $100 minimum order for shipping. We don't ship spirits nor beer.

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.
