Wines Marsannay Domaine - Nony

Viniou Reviews

Marsannay, located in the prestigious Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, is known for producing expressive red wines, primarily from Pinot Noir grapes. This non-vintage "Cuvée Nony" from Domaine exemplifies the typical characteristics of the region, offering a balance of fruit, structure, and elegance. While specifics on vinification techniques are absent, Burgundy wines often rely on traditional methods that highlight the delicate terroir's influence—limestone-rich soils and a continental climate contribute to complex aromas and flavours. The Marsannay appellation is noted for its relative accessibility compared to other Burgundy wines.

Pair this Marsannay Rouge with dishes that accentuate its refined profile. Consider roasted duck breast with cherry sauce or a classic coq au vin to complement the wine’s nuances. Regional options like Boeuf Bourguignon or escargots in garlic butter also harmonise beautifully, enhancing the wine's earthy and fruity notes.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine slightly below room temperature at around 16-18°C. Decanting it for 20-30 minutes will allow its aromas to fully develop. Begin by examining its colour, noting the clarity and depth. Next, swirl the glass to release its bouquet—expect red fruit aromas mingling with earthy undertones. Finally, taste, focusing on the balance and finish that Burgundy wines are celebrated for.
