Marsannay Blanc, Domaine Ballorin 2019

Domaine Ballorin, Gilles & Fabienne Balorin, Morey-Saint-Denis

Domaine Ballorin was born in 2005 from the idea and passion of Gilles Ballorin and his wife Fabienne, with a tiny plot of just 0.2 hectares in Chenôve. To date, the winery covers 6 hectares divided into 23 plots in Morey St Denis, Fixin, Marsannay and Nuit St Georges. The vineyard has always been farmed Biodynamically, and since 2008 Demeter certification has arrived.

The captivating character of his wines conveys the depth and mastery of his experience. Gilles and Fabienne make wine with a minimalist style, where they aim for the concrete without frills or stylistic digressions. The goal is to offer high quality wines, oriented towards the enhancement of Terroir. The choice to break free from the production of soft, blinkered wines, pursuing an impeccable method of work, which makes him relentless in his adherence to quality standards.

Gently vinified often with whole clusters, using indigenous yeasts and aging in old oak barrels with minimal sulfur

Fresh red berries (ripe red cherry, wild raspberry), delicate floral hints (peony, violet), and subtle sweet spices. Supple, energetic, and enveloping with silky, fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and an emotional, caressing finish.
