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 between 2026-2036)
Burghound: 89-91 Points
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 starting 2029)
Jasper Morris: 89-91 Points
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.
