Nose: Fine and elegant with aromas of raspberry and cherry.

It will be perfect with a poultry dish, grilled or roasted red meat, but also very enjoyable with cheeses such as the French Brillat-Savarin or Chaource.

Can be kept in the cellar for 5 to 8 years after the vintage.

The Maranges vineyard forms the link between the Côte-d'Or and Saône-et-Loire regions in Burgundy. Although the production area is located in the Saône-et-Loire department, this appellation is an integral part of the Côte de Beaune.

The vineyards extend across the communes of Cheilly-les-Maranges, Dezize-les-Maranges, and Sampigny-les-Maranges. The rolling landscape of Maranges is made up of hills, slopes, and valleys.

The "La Fussière" Premier Cru has a predominantly marl soil: gray and blue marl covered with limestone scree. The slopes face due south.

Hand-harvested, the grapes are 100% destemmed but not crushed and placed in vats by gravity. 24 days of maceration, including one week at a cold temperature (12°C./54°F.).

The wine is then aged for 12 months in barrels, with a part of new barrels.

The Weather : Uncertain conditions, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds. The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
