Winemaker Notes
Louis Jadot Marsannay Longeroies has a fragrant, floral bouquet with ample black cherry and raspberry scents, a hint of cassis in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly hard tannins on the entry, grippy black fruit and a slightly attenuated finish.

Jasper Morris
A mid ruby crimson colour. There is a greater depth of pure red strawberry/raspberry fruit with a suggestion of some grip. Definitely enough structure behind but this is still fruit forward. Very nicely made. Drink from 2027-2034.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Aromas of cherries, berries, licorice and rose petals introduce the 2022 Marsannay Les Longeroies (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless wine with powdery tannins and good energy.

Wine Spectator
A rich version, boasting luscious cherry, pomegranate, raspberry, graphite and spice flavors. Super silky and sophisticated, this ends with a cascade of fruit and juicy acidity. Best from 2026 through 2038. 80 cases imported.
Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”
Perched up in the northernmost position in the Côte de Nuits, Marsannay is the only appellation village of Burgundy to produce classified wines of all three colors: red, white— and rosé. The official Rosé de Marsannay earned its high reputation in the early 1900s.
Its reds, made of Pinot Noir, burst with red and black fruit and are consistently long on the palate. Chardonnays from Marsannay are charming, floral and full of citrus fruit and mineral. Top Marsannay vineyards include Clos du Roy and Les Longeroies.
