Domaine Bachelet-Monnot Description
From a single parcel in the 1er cru of 50+ year old vines, and is the highest elevation vineyard in Maranges.
Vinous: 91-93 Points
The 2021 Maranges La Fussières ler Cru Rouge was very complex to pick, the 5.5-hectares with ten different types of ripening depending on vine age and terroirs. It has a very mineral-driven bouquet, beautifully defined with more black fruit than the Clos de la Boutière. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp red fruit, a little leafy in style and sapid with a slightly peppery finish that might fool you into thinking there were stems in the blend (when in fact, they were too green to include this year).
Burghound: 87-90 Points
A discreet application of wood sets off pretty floral and pear aromas that are trimmed in subtle citrus wisps. There is even better richness to the more obviously mineral-inflected middleweight flavors that deliver reasonably good depth and persistence on the nicely balanced if mildly rustic finale that is supported by lemon-tinged acidity.
