From the threshold of the Côte de Nuits, the Marsannay "Réserve Personnelle 2022" from Domaine Aegerter is an ode to the finesse of Pinot Noir. This cuvée captures the spirit of a bright vintage, where fruit ripeness marries a striking, savory freshness. The nose vibrates with sun-soaked red fruit nuances, punctuated by delicate spice, while the palate unfolds a fluid, caressing texture shaped by fine tannins and a mineral thread that prolongs the experience. Everything here breathes precision of gesture and clarity of style, delivering a wine with character—gastronomic yet never ostentatious. For those seeking a balanced, versatile and deeply elegant Burgundian red, this Réserve Personnelle offers a clear reading of Marsannay terroir, with measured intensity and a signature that blends charm and uprightness.

Blend and winemaking

Made from 100% Pinot Noir and classified as Marsannay AOC, this wine is worked with constant care to preserve fruit brightness and delicate textures. Harvested at perfect ripeness, the grapes yield a clear, frank juice, with vinification favouring aromatic precision and accurate extraction. A 12 months ageing in French oak barrels completes the ensemble, bringing depth and a touch of spicy nuance without ever dominating the picture. The 2022 vintage, praised for its excellent pleasure-to-value ratio, expresses itself here with contained energy and natural elegance. Oenological choices preserve the sap, refine the tannin grain and allow the limestone-driven minerality so characteristic of Marsannay to surface. Careful bottling guarantees the purity of the profile and its capacity to age.

Tasting notes

• Colour : Bright ruby with garnet highlights, clear, announcing a very precise texture.
• Nose : Ripe red fruits, pulpy raspberry, fresh redcurrant, a hint of blackcurrant in the background, lifted by gentle spices, a floral touch and finely integrated oak.
• Palate : Straightforward and lifted on the attack, silky texture, soft-marbled tannins, lovely freshness and mineral length. Persistent, balanced finish with great drinkability.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve between 14 and 16°C in large Burgundy glasses to reveal the aromatic range and fine texture. Aeration of 30 minutes before serving allows the bouquet to open and harmonises the spice with the fruit. The cuvée is best kept in a cellar, away from light and temperature fluctuations. Depending on your taste and storage conditions, it can develop gracefully over 3 to 8 years, gaining tertiary complexity without losing its precise, digestible character. When young, a gentle decanting can highlight fruit clarity and length on the palate.

Food pairings

• Starters : delicate charcuterie, pâté en croûte, œufs en meurette, country terrine with herbs.
• Main courses : roasted poultry, pink duck breast, veal fillet, grilled beef, feathered game in season.
