Bruno Colin Maranges la Fussière 1er Cru 2016

The premier cru La Fussière is located in the town of Dezize-Les-Maranges, the Pinot Noir vines are expressed on stony white soils resting on blue marls. Bruno Colin's vines were planted in 1986 and are cultivated using sustainable cultivation with soil work and plowing.

The grapes are harvested at optimal maturity, after two sortings keeping only the healthiest grapes, the harvest is destemmed then vatted for around fifteen days during which interventions are limited. Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine is barreled for 12 months in oak barrels, 25% of which are new; the wines rest for another 3 to 6 months in vats before bottling.

The nose is intense and reveals notes of wild red fruits and humus. Once in the mouth, aromas of raspberry and blackberry dominate the mouth full of energy, fleshy and ample. A fine mineral note brings length and elegance to the finish. A very pretty maranges to discover.
