Vintage Character The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was defined by a warm summer tempered by cooler nights and timely rains, conditions that allowed grapes to ripen fully while retaining acidity. This balance produced wines of ripe fruit, freshness, and precision, qualities that shine in the Marsannay Blanc Les Etalles 2023.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Sourced from the Les Etalles parcel, the wine is fermented and aged in 600‑liter barrels, with about 25% new oak, and crafted with no sulfur added until bottling. In the glass, it opens with aromas of citrus, white peach, and subtle floral notes, layered with vanilla and toast from oak aging. On the palate, it is round yet vibrant, with a creamy texture from lees aging, balanced acidity, and a long, mineral‑driven finish. This interplay of fruit, minerality, and texture makes it a standout example of Marsannay’s potential for expressive white wines.
Winery Background Patrick Maroiller & Fils, based in Gevrey‑Chambertin, is a family‑run domaine with deep roots in Burgundy. Patrick began working in vineyards in the 1980s and established his own estate in 2012, later joined by his son Stéphane, who continues the family tradition.
The domaine is committed to organic farming, avoiding chemical treatments and following lunar cycles to respect the natural rhythm of the vines. In the cellar, the philosophy is minimalist: hand harvesting, indigenous yeasts, minimal sulfites, and no unnecessary filtration. Wines are aged in carefully selected French oak barrels, with the goal of enhancing complexity without masking terroir. The Marsannay Blanc Les Etalles 2023 embodies this approach, offering a wine of purity, precision, and artisanal craftsmanship, while also reflecting both the heritage of the family estate and the distinctive character of its site.
