Origins

This village appellation, one of the largest on the Côte de Beaune, covers 475 hectares, 337 of which are classified as 1er Cru.

Dominating the town of Beaune to its extreme north, just above the Clos du Roi plot, the “Marconnets” climat (origin of the Germanic word Marconnens) covers a little more than 9 hectares, of which only 3 hectares are dedicated to the grape variety. Chardonnay.

Today, works agree that the climate takes its name from the spring which once passed around and which is mentioned in several period records. The term is also derived from the old French “marc” meaning marsh.

Vinification and maturing

The Chardonnay grapes were hand-picked and sorted manually as soon as they arrived at the winery. They were then directly pressed in a pneumatic press which allows for perfect extraction of the juices without over pressing the grapes. 
Vinification and ageing took place in wooden barrels  for 12 months with a proportion of 20% new oak.

Vintage : 2025

The 2025 growing season in Burgundy was marked by a rainfall deficit of around 30% compared with 2024, combined with an early harvest. The first cuts of the secateurs took place on August 25 in the Beaune Premier Cru vineyards, notably in Savigny-lès-Beaune (Clos du Roi and Marconnets).

Across the entire vineyard, harvesting began up to two weeks earlier than in 2024 and extended over a longer-than-usual period to adapt to weather conditions, which turned rainy at the outset of the harvest. All grapes were brought in on time: sanitary conditions were very good, and the fruit shows an aromatic concentration that suggests elegant, refined wines. While volumes appear stable compared to 2024, they nevertheless remain below the five-year average.

At the time of the first run-offs in mid-September, red wines were showing gentle extraction with fine colour. White wines, meanwhile, quickly revealed themselves to be rich, flavoursome and concentrated, while retaining fine freshness thanks to cool nights that preserved acidity.

In summary, 2025 is shaping up to be a vintage of character and quality, for both red and white Burgundy wines.
