Considered one of the top producers in Marsannay, Domaine Bart has deep roots in Burgundy. The family has been in the region for six generations and Domaine Bart was started in the 1980’s with vines inherited from the famous Clair-Dau winery. Today the twenty-three hectare family estate is run by Pierre Bart who recently joined his mother, Odile, and uncle, Martin. Martin’s grandfather (a Clair in Clair-Dau) put Marsannay on the map when he created the first Marsannay Rose in 1919 and it became sought after in Dijon. They make approximately 90% red wines and the rest split between rose and white. The domaine’s speciality are their single vineyard Marsannays. The winemaking is consistent throughout the range, aimed at allowing the terroir to shine.
