Origins

The vineyards of Maranges are located south of the Côte de Beaune. They extend over the communes of Cheilly-les-Maranges, Dezize-les-Maranges and Sampigny-les-Maranges. The gently rolling Maranges landscape is made up of hills and valley slopes. The vines are planted on just one hill wich faces south/south-east.

The vineyards of Maranges consists primarily of red wines from Pinot Noir, but also some white wines made from Chardonnay. The vineyard covers approximately 240 ha of which 100 ha Premier Cru.

South/south-east exposure, at an altitude between 240 and 400 metres. Light pebbly soils, brown calcareous and marly limestone soils closely.

Vinification and maturing

Grapes are harvested by hand and totally destemmed. Maceration lasts about 3 weeks. Traditional vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled concrete vats with regular stirring and pumpings-over. Then, the wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels with 30% new oak to bring the perfect touch of toasted aromas to the wine and its ripe tannins.

Vintage : 2023

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
