Bachelet (Bertrand) Maranges 1er Cru Fussiere - 2023 (750ml) Icewine

Bachelet (Bertrand) Maranges 1er Cru Fussiere - 2023 (750ml) IcewineThe 2022 Maranges Rouge La Fussires 1er Cru is a blend of several cuves with different proportions of whole bunches, averaging around 30%. It has more nuance on the nose than the Vieilles Vignes; the stems are neatly incorporated. The palate is medium bodied with a sapid entry that gets the saliva flowing. With chalky tannins, quite firm structure and a hint of licorice on the finish, this Maranges deserves 3 or 4 years in bottle.(NM)
