The Maranges vineyards form the link between the Côte-d'Or and the Saône-et-Loire. It is in perfect harmony with Santenay, with which it shares several esteemed crus. This village appellation in the south of the Côte de Beaune covers 190 hectares (177 ha of reds and 16 ha of whites), including 7 Premier Crus. 28 hectares make up the ‘Les Clos Roussots’ climat.
The vines stretch over the communes of Cheilly-lès-Maranges, Dezize-lès-Maranges and Sampigny-lès-Maranges. The most common exposure is south/south-east, at an altitude of between 240 and 400 metres. Cheilly has fairly light, stony soils. Sampigny and Dezize share the Climats of southern Santenay: brown limestone and limestone marl.
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.
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.
