It is rarely the first name that comes up in conversations about great Burgundy, which is precisely what makes it interesting. Harvests here run ten to fifteen days later than in Meursault or Volnay, and the landscape is more intimate and wooded than the grand hillsides to the north. Le Saugeot sits in the Cirque de Dezize, under the village of Borgy: five blocks facing northeast on a very steep hillside, opposite the Vignes Blanches. The northeast exposure and elevation produce Pinot Noir of cool-toned depth and genuine tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Pinot Noir from the Le Saugeot site. Domaine de Cassiopée farms organically (certified since 2023) and vinifies with minimal intervention: native yeasts, little to no sulfur with a light dose at bottling, aged in a combination of 228 to 450-liter barrels with some Italian terracotta vessel. The wine has a fine, slightly austere tannic structure typical of northeast-facing Maranges: earthy minerality, red berry, dried flower, iron, and a note of bark and wild herbs. What it lacks in immediately obvious charm it compensates for in site-specific character and precision. The magnum format (1.5L) slows development and is ideal for medium to long-term cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe People\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHugo Mathurin and Talloulah Dubourg founded Domaine de Cassiopée in early 2020, taking over a 5-hectare estate in Sampigny-lès-Maranges that included a house and eight distinct plots scattered across hillside vineyards and wild forestland. Both trained at significant addresses before founding the domaine: Hugo worked with Frédéric Mugnier, Clos de Tart, Jean-Marc Roulot, and Benjamin Leroux. Their choice of Maranges was deliberate: cold enough to make the fresh, precise wines they wanted to drink, and unencumbered by the prestige hierarchy of the Côte d'Or. They release eight individual cuvées, each from a distinct plot, to understand what each site is saying. Imported by Grand Cru Selections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaranges Rouge calls for food that complements its earthiness and grip without overwhelming the delicacy. Roast duck breast with a cherry glaze, wild mushroom tart with aged Gruyère, roasted beet and walnut salad with goat cheese, or a simple roast chicken with pan drippings. The wine opens considerably over an hour in the glass. Give it time, or decant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stelvio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50148951949535,"sku":null,"price":202.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/7436\/1248\/files\/P6170387.jpg?v=1781756061","url":"https:\/\/danverwinemerchant.com\/products\/domaine-de-cassiopee-maranges-rouge-le-saugeot-1-5l","provider":"Denver Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
