La Fussière is the largest climat of Maranges (at the very south of the Côte de Beaune, next to Santenay), covering an area of almost 35 hectares. It faces south, directly towards the start of the Côte Chalonnaise, on a slope between 290 and 400 metres. Alongside a cracking red from these marly, crinoidal limestone soils, Bachelet-Monnot has long crafted an exceptionally pure and taut white Burgundy from a small parcel of 40-year-old vines occupying the vineyard's highest reaches. This site lost almost 70% of its crop due to the frost this year. Raised with 20% new oak, it’s a beautifully pitched, chalky white with crisp apple and white peach fruit, finishing with a tangy, citric snap.

Reviews

“Attractive pale lemon yellow. This has considerable volume for the vintage with a racy and lemon-tinged note to the fruit. Fresh but ripe apples as well, maybe. Opens out into an attractive white stone fruit to finish. Just the bouquet is needing still to develop. Balanced and quite persistent.” 89-91 points

"The 2021 Maranges La Fussières 1er Cru Blanc, which lost 70% of the crop due to frost, has a tight nose, requiring some encouragement in the glass and reluctantly offers citrus fruit and a light damp moss/undergrowth scent. The palate is well balanced with lime and orange pith on the entry, nicely detailed with a crisp spine of acidity. The 20% new oak is a little vocal on the finish, but this will be assimilated with time. Worth seeking out." 89-91 points
