Château de Marsannay Marsannay Blanc 2021, from winemaker Sylvain Pabion in the Côte de Nuits, showcases the precision and finesse of this cooler vintage. Aromas of citrus zest, white blossom, and crushed stone lead to a finely etched palate of lemon curd, green apple, and almond. The texture is taut and mineral, balanced by a subtle creaminess from partial oak maturation. Lively acidity lends length and poise, finishing with a lingering saline edge. Awarded 91 points by Decanter, this Chardonnay captures Marsannay’s elegant restraint – an expressive, terroir-driven white Burgundy of purity, balance, and quiet sophistication.
