La Fussière is the largest climat of Maranges (next to Santenay at the very south of the Côte de Beaune), covering an area of almost 35 hectares. It faces south towards the start of the Côte Chalonnaise, on a slope between 290 and 400 metres up. Alongside a cracking red from these marly limestone soils, Bachelet-Monnot has long crafted an exceptionally pure and taut white Burgundy from a small parcel of 40-year-old vines occupying the vineyard's highest reaches. Raised with 25% new oak, the 2022 is a ridiculously refined and delicious wine for the appellation. Expect a white Burgundy of striking finesse, pear and nectarine fruit and a long, delicately chalky finish.

Reviews

“The 2022 Maranges Blanc La Fussières 1er Cru comes from a parcel conjoining the Santenay Blanc on deeper soils. The well-defined bouquet offers yellow fruit, lanolin and light sea spray aromas. The palate is taut and fresh with a twist of sour lemon on the entry, quite precise and focused with a sapid finish urging you to take another sip.”
90-92 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“This plot has always been white at the domaine, planted by their grandfather. Alex and Marc reckon that the upper part slopes at the Santenay end of Maranges is where to plant your chardonnay. Mid lemon colour. The bouquet has a certain plummy quality. Then the wine is much more refined on the palate, with character which I don’t always find in white Fussière.”
