The Maranges appellation is the newest addition to the Côte de Beaune, created in May 1989. The La Fussière climat is the main climat of the Maranges appellation, spread across the communes of Cheilly and Dezize-les-Maranges. With its raspberry-ruby color, this Maranges Premier Cru has a bright nose with aromas of red fruit and blackcurrant. The palate is fresh and peppery, revealing a superb texture that is dense and flattering.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Bertrand Bachelet, a young winemaker who settled here in 2011, is at the helm of this 13-hectare estate stretching from Maranges to Pommard. Sustainable viticulture and the Royat cordon are the norm here, as are massal selections developed from the estate's oldest vines. The range is characterized by wines with ripe, intense fruitiness. The reds, which account for the vast majority of production, are vinified after destemming in concrete vats and have silky tannins, while the whites, without bâtonnage, offer roundness and juicy, honeyed orchard fruit aromas.
