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
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)
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.
