FEATURES
The 2015 Chateau de Marsannay Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru En Orveaux is a highly regarded red Burgundy from an excellent vintage. Château de Marsannay is known for producing top-tier red and white Burgundies, with the "En Orveaux" climat being particularly well-located, facing Musigny Grands Crus and adjacent to Grands Echezeaux. This wine is crafted from old vines, over 50 years old, grown on well-drained limestone and gravel soils with limestone screes, benefiting from an East-North/East exposure. After meticulous sorting and destemming, the grapes undergo cold maceration and alcoholic fermentation, followed by 12 months of aging in 100% new oak barrels and an additional 5 months in tank. The 2015 vintage has garnered significant critical acclaim, including 95/100 from Bettane & Desseauve, a Gold medal at the Frankfurt International Trophy 2026, and 94-95/100 from The World Of Fine Wine.
This Premier Cru displays a deep color with ruby shades. It offers a fine and intense nose with ripe fruit notes and spices.
