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.
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.
The grapes, harvested by hand, were carefully sorted in the vineyard and then on arrival at the winery. They were then completely destemmed before being put into vats. Cold maceration (8 to 10°C) took place for 5 to 8 days, followed by alcoholic fermentation in the presence of selected yeasts for a total of 15 days, with 2 punchings of the cap per day. The wine was then placed in French oak barrels, where 100% malolactic fermentation took place, and matured for around 12 months.
The 2025 campaign in Burgundy was marked by a water deficit of approximately 30% and an early harvest, which began as early as August 25th in the Côte de Beaune.
Despite more unsettled weather at the start of the picking season, the sanitary state of the grapes is excellent, and they show a beautiful aromatic concentration
The reds are characterized by gentle extractions and deep color, while the whites combine richness, concentration, and freshness.
A vintage of character and elegance is emerging for both red and white wines.
