Les Vignes Marie Marsannay Pinot Noir
Marsannay, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Medium Ruby with aromas of dark fruits and pepper spice notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with smoke and black pepper. Medium finish, fine tannins ending with earthy character. Drink now. Just ok!

Earthy/woodsy spice, dried red fruit, and a bit of animal musk on the nose. Smell reminds me of autumn in the woods. Much brighter fruit on the palate. Tart cranberry, appleskin, raspberry. Hint of clove on the finish. This is exactly what i was hoping it would be

Really solid for the price. From Marsannay, the northernmost appellation in the cote d'or. Elegant yet rich at the same time. Some oak and cinnamon stick on the nose, with just a touch of tertiary dried fruit and black licorice. Firm but welcoming tannins resolve in a couple of hours of air while lush tart cherry, blackberry, and earth round out the palate.. nice effort for $30.

Domaine Derey Frères – Marsannay “Les Vignes Marie” 2021 🇫🇷
Marsannay AOC, Côte de Nuits – Burgundy, France
Overview
100% Pinot Noir from Marsannay, the only Côte de Nuits village allowed to produce wines in all three colors (red, white, and rosé). “Les Vignes Marie” is a standout parcel that shows the classic finesse of Burgundy Pinot while keeping Marsannay’s hallmark freshness and approachability.
Aromas & Flavors
Bright red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry lead the nose, with hints of rose petal, subtle spice, and earthy forest floor. A touch of mineral undertone brings lift and precision.
Mouthfeel
Elegant and medium-bodied with silky tannins, lively acidity, and a refined structure. Balanced and supple, finishing with freshness that keeps you coming back for another sip.
Winemaking Notes
The Derey family has been established in Marsannay since the mid-17th century, and their work focuses on organic farming and gentle cellar practices. The 2021 vintage, cooler and classic in style, emphasizes delicacy over power.
Food Pairing
Perfect with roast chicken, duck breast, mushroom risotto, or a charcuterie board. Its finesse makes it versatile across light meats and earthy vegetarian dishes.
Verdict
A graceful Burgundy Pinot that captures Marsannay’s balance between Côte de Nuits structure and charming approachability. For me, this sits as one of my most favorite wines in the Côte de Nuits — at a very affordable price point, it punches well above its weight and shows how Burgundy can still deliver tremendous value.
📚 Educational Sidebar – Why Marsannay Matters
Marsannay, at the northern gateway of the Côte de Nuits, is often overshadowed by its neighbors like Gevrey-Chambertin. But its wines deliver exceptional value, showing Pinot Noir with purity, finesse, and terroir character — a smart entry point into Burgundy without the Grand Cru price tag. Cheers!

Too simple compared to other Burgs. This wine had nice bing cherry flavor and good balance however it was lacking the earthy refinement of better wines. May have needed more bottle age
