OUR OPINION: superb! Elegant, delicate, very fresh and perfectly balanced! That delicious pink grapefruit flavour is simply divine, a real favourite!
TERROIR
The Maranges vineyard consists of a single hillside facing east, south-east and south. It is a very fine, well-drained hillside, whose parent rock is composed of Jurassic limestone marl covered with scree and silt. White wines are rarely produced here, accounting for just 5 hectares and 5% of the designation's production. They are generally rich and full-bodied, with good minerality and exotic fruit aromas.
The locality La Fussière 1er Cru faces due south, at an altitude of between 300 and 350 metres. It runs almost the entire length of the 1er Cru hillside, with the renowned Clos-Rousseau de Santenay at the top. It produces some of the finest wines in the appellation.
The vines planted here are around 18 years old.
WINEGROWING & WINEMAKING
The vines are managed according to the principles of an "intelligent" sustainable agriculture. Treatments on the vines are carried out only when absolutely necessary.
The grapes are harvested by hand and the whole bunches (berries and stalks) are immediately pressed in the winery. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in the presence of indigenous yeasts, followed by the malolactic fermentation.
The wine is aged for 11 months on its fine lees in new barrels (20%) and in barrels of 1 or 2 wines. Regular stirring of the lees is carried out during the first months of ageing.
The must is then racked into stainless steel tanks to rest for 1 month. It is then fined and filtered before bottling.
The bottle is sealed with a DIAM5® cork stopper which guarantees the absence of TCA contamination of the wine (or cork taste)
