The estate
The Château de Marsannay is a Burgundy estate located in Marsannay-la-Côte, on the doorstep of Dijon. It is now run by Olivier Halley, who has owned the estate since 2012. Château de Marsannay farms 40 hectares of vines organically, spread across the finest climats of the Marsannay appellation and plots exclusively managed for the Hospices de Dijon, in both the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. Technical management is overseen by Sylvain Pabion, who joined the estate in 2015.

The vineyard
The Puligny-Montrachet Village “Cuvée Maizière” comes from a 57-are plot belonging to the Hospices de Dijon and exclusively managed by Château de Marsannay. Located at the foot of the slope, below the Premier Cru Les Marconnets, it enjoys an easterly exposure and sits on the brown clay-limestone soil characteristic of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation. Like the rest of the estate's vineyard, this plot is farmed organically, with a focus on soil conservation and the preservation of biodiversity.

Vinification and ageing
The Puligny-Montrachet Village “Cuvée Maizière” 2025 is currently ageing. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged in oak barrels, a portion of them new, on the lees with bâtonnage, to add roundness and aromatic complexity while respecting the expression of the terroir. The ageing takes place in a temperature-controlled cellar, conducive to gradual, carefully controlled maturation.

Grape variety
This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of the white wines of the Côte de Beaune.
