ORIGIN

The Maranges vineyards form the link between the Côte-d'Or and the Saône-et-Loire. It is in perfect harmony with Santenay, with which it shares several esteemed crus. This village appellation in the south of the Côte de Beaune covers 190 hectares (177 ha of reds and 16 ha of whites), including 7 Premier Crus. 28 hectares make up the ‘Les Clos Roussots’ climat.

The vines stretch over the communes of Cheilly-lès-Maranges, Dezize-lès-Maranges and Sampigny-lès-Maranges. The most common exposure is south/south-east, at an altitude of between 240 and 400 metres. Cheilly has fairly light, stony soils. Sampigny and Dezize share the Climats of southern Santenay: brown limestone and limestone marl.

VINIFICATION AND MATURING

Grapes are harvested by hand and totally destemmed. Maceration lasts about 3 weeks. Traditional vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled concrete vats with regular stirring and pumpings-over.

Then, the wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels with 30% new oak to bring the perfect touch of toasted aromas to the wine and its ripe tannins.
