DOMAINE VINCENT BACHELET - Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière 2024

This Maranges 1st Cru La Fussière Blanc 2024 is an exceptional white wine that brilliantly combines elegance, tension, and complexity. Sourced from the prestigious "La Fussière" climat at the southernmost tip of the Côte de Beaune, this highly confidential cuvée beautifully expresses the purity of Chardonnay grown on high-altitude clay-limestone soils. It is a great gastronomic wine, rare and highly sought-after, offering a refined alternative to its more famous neighboring crus.

Wine Tasting Notes

• The Aromatic Profile: A sharp and elegant nose, dominated by notes of fresh citrus (lemon, pink grapefruit), fresh almond, and white flowers, enhanced by a subtle, well-integrated touch of oak.
• The Structure: On the palate, the attack is crisp and flavorful. The wine displays a beautifully controlled power, supported by a fine acidity, careful aging on fine lees, and a long, saline finish.
• The Character: A precise, refreshing, and deeply mineral white wine, perfect for lovers of tense and complex great Burgundy wines.

Serving & Cellaring Advice

• Cellaring Potential: 6 to 10 years (delightful in its youth for its freshness, it will gain further complexity over the years).
• Serving Temperature: Between 12 and 14°C (Tip: decant 15 minutes before serving to reveal its full aromatic potential).
