Domaine Ghislain Kohut is a small producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, one of Burgundy's most prestigious communes in the Côte de Nuits. The domaine focuses on still wines, primarily Pinot Noir from the village and surrounding appellations, alongside a small production of white wine from Aligote.

Gevrey-Chambertin is distinguished by its clay-limestone soils and cool continental climate, conditions that favor the production of structured, age-worthy Pinot Noirs with considerable depth and complexity. The commune is home to numerous grand cru and premier cru vineyards, and village-level wines from the area typically display the darker fruit characteristics and mineral backbone characteristic of northern Burgundy's finest expressions.

The current range reflects work across three distinct Burgundian appellations: Gevrey-Chambertin village wines, the lighter Marsannay rouge, and Bourgogne Aligoté. This selection demonstrates engagement with both the signature red wines of the northern Côte de Nuits and the traditional white wine of Burgundy's Aligote grape, which in the region's cooler sites can achieve considerable freshness and mineral precision.

Marsannay is the northernmost appellation in Burgundy's Côte d'Or, located at the transition between the Côte de Nuits and the city of Dijon. This appellation was officially established in 1987, making it one of Burgundy's newer AOCs. The vineyards are positioned on gentle slopes facing east and southeast, with elevations ranging from 250 to 390 meters.

The terroir consists primarily of limestone and marl soils mixed with alluvial deposits from ancient river systems. The climate is continental with moderate rainfall and good sun exposure. Marsannay is unique among Côte d'Or appellations as it permits the production of red, white, and rosé wines, though red wines from Pinot Noir dominate production. The appellation covers approximately 230 hectares across the communes of Marsannay-la-Côte, Couchey, and Chenôve.

Marsannay red wines typically display the approachable character of northern Burgundy Pinot Noir, with bright red fruit flavors, moderate tannins, and good acidity. These wines tend to be less structured and concentrated than those from more prestigious Côte de Nuits appellations further south, making them accessible in their youth while still capable of moderate aging. The limestone-rich soils contribute mineral undertones and help maintain freshness in the wines.
