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 has a southerly exposure, directly towards the start of the Côte Chalonnaise, on a slope at an altitude 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 that occupy the highest reaches of the vineyard. We’re delighted to finally be working with this cuvée once again.

Reviews

“Located close by the Santenay but there is more clay here. Clear pale colour. More complex white fruit and flowers on the nose. Flesh beneath. Very harmonious, then minerals then fruit again, concentrated very juicy apple. Excellent! I kept going back to this which could be the domaine’s finest Fussière to date.” 91-94 points

“The 2020 Maranges Fussières 1er Cru Blanc has a vibrant bouquet of fresh grass clipping, gooseberry and citrus peel aromas, taut and somehow a little Muscadet-like. The palate is fresh on the entry and offers a fine bead of acidity and favors of lime and Granny Smith apples mixed with subtle apricot and white peach notes toward the finish. Real vim and vigor here. Excellent.” 91-93 points
