Great name! On 'marnes d'ostrea', a calcium-rich marl or clay with oyster-shell fossils. Rich like the basic Marsannay, with perhaps an additional clarity of expression and vibrancy. Fresh and taut, a more sculpted wine and longer too. This is at the bottom of a 'combe', which tends to channel cool air down from higher ground and this means it is always harvested late.

Creamy and ripe. Fresh, juicy fruit and quite a lot of very fine, misted tannins. Slightly light body, but tasty enough. 2014-2019 Rating: 16.5 Richard Hemming MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2014)
Domaine Huguenot
The Huguenots can trace their history in Marsannay and working in the vines back to 1789. Currently the domaine is run by Philippe. His father Jean-Louis expanded the domaine from five to twenty-two hectares (twelve in Marsannay, six in Fixin, and four in Gevrey) before handing over the reins. Philippe took the bold step of taking the whole domaine into organic production (the conversion was completed in 2010), but immensely sadly he was forced to do a single non-organic treatment in 2016, because of the terrible conditions, so he was back to square one - three years to re-qualify for the organic label. Nevertheless Philippe, although initially unsure if he would try for the certification again was not planning to change the way he works - it is, he assures us, better for him and the environment and and his workers as well as for quality. So he fought his way back, and the wines have been certified organic again since 2019. Philippe now has 23 hectares in production.
