The Maranges appellation is the newest addition to the Côte de Beaune; it was established in May 1989. The La Fussière climat is the main climat of the Maranges appellation, spanning the municipalities of Cheilly and Dezize-les-Maranges. With a raspberry-ruby color, this Maranges 1er cru boasts a vibrant nose, with aromas of red berries and blackcurrant. The palate, marked by freshness and peppery notes, reveals superb body—dense and flattering.

About the estate:
Bertrand Bachelet, a young winemaker who has been in business since 2011, heads this 13-hectare estate stretching from Maranges to Pommard. Sustainable viticulture and the Cordon de Royat training system are standard practice here, as are the massal selections developed from the estate’s oldest vines. The range is characterized by wines with ripe, intense fruit. The reds, which make up the vast majority of production, are vinified with the stems removed in concrete tanks and feature silky tannins, while the whites, made without stirring, offer roundness and aromas of juicy, honeyed orchard fruits.
