From a small site in between Santenay and Cheilly-lès-Maranges, where the soils are made up of clay, limestone and silt. Vinification in stainless steel vats - 100% whole bunch maceration for 15 days, and then aged in used barrels for one year. Not fined or filtered. 10ppm SO2 added before bottling. Certified organic. 12% alc.
Slightly more concentration here than the Bourgogne rouge. Red cherries and bouquets of red roses are at the forefront. Where the 2020 was quite earthy, the 2021 is more about red fruits and floral characters. Hints of ozone and forest in the background. The palate is instantly refreshing, with a beautiful mix of crunchy raspberry and red cherry fruit. Slightly more dense and finely detailed, with wonderful material, fine grip and bright acidity. An extremely satisfying wine, and exciting to see that Maranges is capable of producing wines like this!
