Bachelet-Monnot - Maranges La Fussiere Blanc 2022

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

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.  - Neal Martin

Smoky aromas of mineral reduction, pear and spiced apple also display a touch of citrus zest that is picked up by the bigger and more concentrated medium-bodied flavors that exude an almost aggressive minerality on the moderately austere finish. This is quite good for an appellation better known for its reds. - Allen Meadows

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. - Jasper Morris
