Régis Bouvier | Marsannay Rouge 'Les Longeroies'

This is arguably Régis’ most over-delivering wine. Coming from his oldest vines, 'Les Longeroies' showcases all the classic black cherry, black tea, and baking spices of a refined and revered red Burgundy. If a handful of Côte d’Or villages (northern Burgundy), like Volnay, Meursault, and Gevrey-Chambertin, have been consistently prestigious for centuries, Marsannay lies at the other end of the spectrum. Despite having been preferred by the dukes of Bourgogne as far back as the fourteenth century, it has largely been overlooked throughout the last couple of centuries, and its reputation has been on the rise only in the past few decades with the accumulation of talented vignerons such as Régis Bouvier.
