Located above Gevrey Chambertin, the village of Marsannay has a complicated history. Mainly planted with Gamay when vineyards were first classified, no wines here could receive a status higher than villages. 

Les Longeroies is a kilometer-long vineyard composed of three distinct sections. Pataille sources the fruit in this cuvee from the lower section of the vineyard, which is best suited to Pinot Noir.
