La Fussière is the largest climat of Maranges (at the very south of the Côte de Beaune, next to Santenay). It faces south towards the start of the Côte Chalonnaise, on a slope at an altitude between 290 and 400 metres. With the addition of a new parcel in 2020, the Bachelet vines cover three hectares with an average age of 60 years. This cuvée comprises 11 parcels. The Bachelet aim has always been to craft finer, more aromatic reds from the Côte’s southern reaches, and this limestone-rich site has helped further this aim. As Jasper Morris has written about this wine: “If you don’t know or don’t rate Maranges, this wine is the wake-up call.” This is another gorgeous release: fleshy yet mineral, long and complex. As the scores below make clear, in today’s Burgundy, this 1er Cru represents quite brilliant value!
