2022 Maranges 1er Cru 'La Fussiere', Domaine Bachelet-Monnot, Burgundy, France

A more serious offering than the villages Maranges, with a complex tightly wound fruit set, a fine spine of tannin and this lovely salty dark fruited finish. An excellent cuvee that hails from seven7 different parcels in La Fussiere, vinified separately and in a variety of vessels, with the percentage of whole bunch tailored to each plot. Vines are aged between 10 and 85 years old, energy coming from the former, complexity from the latter. Fermented with an average of 25-35% whole bunches in 2022.
