This was a very enjoyable sipper. Strong berry on the nose but a light berry/watermelon taste on the palate that doesn't linger too long, so you dive in for another sip. Would absolutely buy this again. — 9 months ago

Dark ruby (not translucent) color. Earthy aromas of mushroom, freshly tilled soil, and brown leaves. Interesting pallet that features black berry/raspberry fruit with hints of smoked herbs and spices. Touch of violet on the medium finish. Extremely smooth tannins and good balance. Solid effort. — 5 years ago

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! — 9 months ago

My continuing quest to taste as many 22 Burgundies as possible…

The nose is a little dull, but shows beautiful, floral & slightly candied red fruits. Dark cherries, cherries, strawberries, pomegranate syrup, raspberries and blueberry hues. Understated, dark, rich earth, very soft baking spices and dark, red, florals framed in violet potpourri.

The palate entry is wonderful. Ripe, juicy; dark cherries, cherries, strawberries, pomegranate reduction, raspberries and blueberry hues. Understated, dark, rich earth, baking spices-cinnamon stick, clove, light nutmeg vanillin, sandalwood to light cedar shavings, caramel, touch of toffee, dry tree bark w/ a touch of moss covered in sap, red & mid berry licorice/cola, dark, the red, florals framed in amazing violets are exquisite, perfect acidity with an elegant, balanced finish that lasts nearly two-minute.

92+ with a bit more time. It just lacks more depth for a higher score. But hard not to drink now. Good value here at $59.99.

Sexy fucking wine. Sexy is overused but I’d get in a hastily planned 3 month relationship with this wine that would end in bitter heartbreak. Gorgeous nose. Flowers, big cherries, lipstick vibe. Palate is ripe and opulent with lovely sucrosity and wonderful freshness. Silky tannins and great mouthfeel. Very 15 but also very alluring. Long finish. Wonderful mineral drive and very complex. Great today. — 7 years ago
