Again, this is a stunning value. Bachelet-Monnot owns half of this clos. Boutière may well derive from old French for ‘end of the field’, which fits, considering this vineyard sits on the border of Santenay at the very end of the Clos Roussots vineyard. Clos de la Boutière has more clay, which can be felt in the added richness of the wine. It comes from a single parcel of 90-year-old, mass-selection vines that deliver ripeness and power. All the fruit was destemmed this vintage and no new oak was used. Seductive yet very complex and mineral, it’s another next-level Maranges and a crazy bargain for 1er Cru Burgundy. Incredible class.

Reviews

“The 2024 Maranges Clos de la Boutière 1er Cru comes from a parcel of 90+ year-old vines from a very old massale selection. This has an open, airy bouquet of shimmering red fruit, plenty of vigour and perhaps the one cuvée that is a little Côte de Nuits in style. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. Finely structured, a "cool" Maranges that perhaps just needs a tad more complexity to manifest on the finish. But still, this is a classy Maranges that should give over a decade of drinking pleasure like La Fussière.”
91-93 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“One of the lowest yields at 15 hl/ha. Slightly the deepest purple of the reds, though the bouquet is less immediately expressive than Fussière. Cherry kernels, a mix of red and black, more tannins from the clay in the soil. A solid wine with excellent ageing potential. Drink from 2029-2034.”
88-91 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“Mid ruby. Cherry and raspberry nose. Good depth and texture. Quite high tannins, but these remain refined. Balance, depth and lots of savoury flavour. Good length.”
