Château Marsannay — Attraction in Dijon

We did the wine tasting here and had a great experience! Our guide Emmanuel gave us an excessive tour throughout the premises, including the wine cellar, prior to the tasting. While doing so he helped us understand more about the process of wine making and how that leads to a wine being special or less so. The tasting itself was very nice as well, not only did we taste eight vintages (some of which were as expensive as 150€/Bottle - the most expensive wine I for one ever had), but we also were able to experience how what difference in soil and process leads to what taste. Emmanuel spoke perfect English and -whenever we didn't understand the English word- translated it into German as well! After the tasting he consulted us in the bottle store. Also we were offered to keep the tasting glasses!

To sum it up: You get great value for your money, become somewhat of an bourgogne expert because you get the "Tasting+" experience and get to taste...

We stayed in the area for a few days. We drove up and down the Route de Vins and chose this place to do some tasting after doing some research online.

It's a very nice winery, lovely building in a nice setting. Inside it's very classy. Tours are available too. We tasted a few of their wines. Some red, some white. Really lovely french wine. It was really nice here in the tasting room, felt very relaxed.

Ended up buying a pack of three wines: red, white and Rosé. For 99 Euros a really good price. Had the fresh, fruity and crisp White the same night for dinner and brought the other two bottles home. Both the Rosé and the Red were really enjoyable as well. France has so many wines and wineries. This one here surely is a very good one with enjoyable wines for every budget.

A great tasting experience. And our Bulldog was even welcome inside as well. Parking is right out front and there are...

There’s little charm to be found in the building itself, but the surrounding vineyards are beautiful, and it’s just an easy and beautiful 3.8km walk on a rocky dirt path from the last stop on the T2 tram (from the Chenove Centre stop go right, then left after the post office, then find the Chemin du Bas du Clos du Roy). Some posters and displays provide good technical information on the local micro-climates, soil types, and the wine-making process.

The guide was very knowledgeable. No nonsense and no pushy sales.

The hours of operation in the off season, given the two-hour lunch breaks, are a little more complex than Google Maps would have you believe (see photo below).

Unfortunately, I didn’t care much for the wine itself, but it...
