Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière 2022
AOC Maranges Premier Cru, Burgundy, France
100% Pinot Noir | 14% ABV
We are delighted to present this French red wine from Burgundy made with 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Maranges is arguably the least known appellation in the Côte d'Or producing some gems. This particular wine sits nicely in the middle in terms of style with the lift and freshness of Didier's Clos des Loyères and the ripe, dark flavours of Clos Roussots. A wine which is well worth discovering.
This wine exudes notes of black cherry, black pepper, damson plum, red cherry, spice, and vanilla.
Service: Serve at 16 to 18°C.
Food Pairing: Excellent with pork, beef, duck, lamb, poultry, pasta in tomato sauce, and vegetarian dishes.
Didier Regnaudot took over the family business in 2000 and is now responsible for the winemaking and the other areas of concern.
The 6.5 hectare vineyard is located in the town of Dézize-les-Maranges which is on the southernmost edge of the Côte d’Or, up in the hills just west of Santenay. The village is located at 1300 feet above sea level and its terroir is cooler and later ripening than the villages further north, and its vines are more resistant to rot.

Cellaring: Drinking well now, has potential for aging for up to 6-7 years.
Vinification: Grapes are hand harvested and sorted in the vineyard and are 100% de-stemmed. It undergoes cold-soak for 1 week at 10°C. Temperature of tank is raised to 18°C and fermentation. For La Fussière, fermentation takes place in cement tanks. 2 or 3 punch-downs early in fermentation, and then gentle pump-overs. Fermentation lasts 18 - 20 days. Wine ages in barrel (40% new oak, 60% 1 or 2 years old) for 11 - 12 months. The barrels for each vineyard are then blended into stainless steel tanks and aged for another 3 months. Wine is not fined nor filtered.
