Maranges La Fussière 1er Cru

Elegant Premier Cru Pinot Noir from Maranges

The Thierry et Pascale Matrot Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière is a refined red Burgundy from the southernmost part of the Côte de Beaune. The Matrot family is among the oldest wine families in Meursault and is known for wines that excel in purity, clarity, and elegance. This Premier Cru from Maranges proves that magnificent Pinot Noir is also produced outside the better-known appellations.

Grapes & Vinification

The Pinot Noir grapes come from thirty-year-old vines on average, grown on limestone-rich clay soil in Maranges, neighbor to Santenay. The wine is fermented using 100% natural yeasts and aged for 15 months in a mix of old and new barrels (20%). Before bottling, the wine undergoes light filtration and spends another 3 months in stainless steel. The result is a wine with an intense aroma, Morello cherries, ripe blackberries, light spiciness, balance, and buttery-smooth tannins.
