ABOUT THIS WINE
Marion Navoiseau established her domain in Mancey in 2015 after a career in the wider wine industry. Deeply committed to biodiversity and the protection of the land, she heavily prioritizes soil conservation and chemical-free farming, achieving organic certification in 2022. For nearly a decade, Marion carefully tended her vines but sold all her harvested grapes to the local Mâcon cooperative. The 2023 vintage marks her spectacular emergence as an independent winemaker, making this Bourgogne Rouge her very first estate-vinified and bottled red wine from her tiny 4.8-hectare estate.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are 100% hand-harvested from unique clay-limestone plots situated on two elevated plateaus in Mancey and Tournus. After 100% destemming, the fruit undergoes cold maceration and fermentation over 10 to 12 days. The wine is aged for 12 months, with 50% maturing in traditional 228-liter Burgundian oak barrels (15% new) and the remaining 50% in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve primary fruit freshness. The components are carefully blended before bottling.
