2022 Domaine Bachelet-Monnot Maranges La Fussiere Rouge Premier Cru

Other Reviews....
A more expressive and admirably pure nose freely offers up its array of red pinot fruit, spice and subtle floral nuances. The intense and beautifully delineated medium weight flavors possess a borderline pungent minerality, indeed the mouthfeel is like rolling a small pebbles on one's tongue, all wrapped in a long, firm and youthfully austere finale. Lovely and understated. Drink through 2029+.

The 2022 Maranges Rouge La Fussières 1er Cru is a blend of several cuvées with different proportions of whole bunches, averaging around 30%. It has more nuance on the nose than the Vieilles Vignes; the stems are neatly incorporated. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry that gets the saliva flowing. With chalky tannins, quite firm structure and a hint of licorice on the finish, this Maranges deserves 3 or 4 years in bottle. Drink 2026-2036.

Neal Martin - Vinous

There is enough fruit to make several tanks of La Fussière with different levels of whole bunch vinification which are then blended. A glowing mid to deep purple. The bouquet has a depth of dark raspberry fruit, with a little strawberry as well. Quite an interesting wave of fruit through the palate, a fresher style of red berry, but nuanced and with good length. Some pepper to conclude. Drink from 2026-2030.
