WHO

Domaine Marsoif is a family estate taken over in 2005 by the artisan winemaker and president of the Bourgogne Tonnere appellation, Raphaël Masson. The name Marsoif is derived from “Marchesoif”, which was the base of a 13th century order of the Knights Templar surrounded by ponds and vineyards. You can find a call back to the Templar theme on all the Marsoif labels. In 2008, Masson expanded the domaine by purchasing plots in Epineuil. The 10.5 hectare, sustainably managed vineyard is planted half with Pinot Noir and half with Chardonnay. Their range of gourmet and fruity wines includes rouge, blanc, rosé, and 2 crémants – all domaine-bottled since Masson has taken ownership.

HOW

This wine is vinified in the traditional way, typical of the region. 80% "jus de presse" and 20% "jus de goutte". No wood used.
