    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Bachelet Monnot, Maranges, La Fussière, 1er Cru, Rouge, 2015

    Being from a high, limestone-based vineyard, inevitably this shows an intense rocky, mineral characteristic, which makes this lively and moreish rather than austere. The quality of the tannins is superb. Velvety and suave, this oozes notes of dark and red berry, cherry and dry stone. Brilliant. Just 25% new oak and with 15% whole bunch fermentation that gives this such texture and appeal.

    ABV:
    13.5%
    92/100
    Neal Martin, Vinous
    The 2018 Maranges La Fussières 1er Cru Rouge is perfumed and floral on the nose, crushed rose petals infuse the brambly red berry fruit laced with iodine and undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, quite saline in the mouth with a harmonious, almost understated finish. Just a slight attenuation but that is because it is soon after bottling.
