Maranges is the final limit of the Côte d’Or, and a source of crunchy, great value reds, if you follow the right grower. This is actually a blend of village and premier cru fruit (from 1er Cru Clos Rousseau), which David declassifies to give his village Marange more volume and quality. It’s a smart move, and a smart buy. It’s light-bodied, lithe, crunchy, juicy and vibrant.
A pretty mid purple colour with a light oaking to the nose, but above all a really charming fruit, poised, delivering a great fruit to acid balance, and a light salinity alongside the fresh raspberry fruit. 15% whole bunch vinification here. Drink from 2025-2030. Tasted: November 2023.
