Les Favières, a terroir blessed with ideal conditions for producing a great Pinot, is one of the 11 climats in Marsannay for which Premier Cru classification has been requested. The 0.7 hectares dedicated to Château de Marsannay yield a powerful wine, richly fruity and spicy, with firm tannins and a long finish. A Favorite !

Rated estate (2020 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)

About the estate:

Olivier Halley, a descendant of the family that owns Promodès and a shareholder in Carrefour, purchased this 40-hectare estate—including 28 hectares of Marsannay—in 2012, at the same time as Château de Meursault, and entrusted its management to Stéphane Follin-Arbelet. The investments in viticulture, technology, and personnel that were necessary because the estate had gone through a difficult period are beginning to pay off. Sylvain Pabion, after working at Bertrand Minchin’s Clos Delorme, joined the château to oversee operations and hospitality. A large reception hall here can seat up to 350 people, which is rare in the Burgundy wine region.
