    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%
    91-93/100

    The 2020 Maranges La Fussières 1er Cru Rouge, which contains slightly less whole bunch than the Village, has a more austere, well-defined, stony bouquet featuring dark berry fruit and touches of black tea. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit and slightly granular in texture, leading to a cohesive, sustained finish. Very classy, and I reckon this should be quite approachable thanks to its pliancy.
