BEAUNE 1er Cru « les Marconnets » 2023

The 67 ares of this plot (1.7 acre) are located at the top of the slope, facing south-east. It benefits from a limestone soil mixed with loams, sands and clay.

This climat extends over the two communes of Beaune and Savigny.   Its name is thought to come from Marcomans (Latin: marcomanni, or men of the border), a western Germanic tribe that existed until the 4th century. After the invasion of the Franks, this type of Germanic declension is frequently found in the names of rivers around Beaune. It appeared in literature as Marconain in 1270, then Marconnay in 1294; a watercourse had its headwaters in this location.

Compared to some Grands Crus, its wines reveal distinction, power and aromatic complexity.

Perfect with veal paupiettes with mushrooms, meat in sauce, game birds or hard pressed cheeses (Cîteaux, Saint Nectaire, Reblochon, Comté, etc).
