Tasting notes
The 2016 Maranges Fussière 1er Cru is impressive, with a balanced, complete, solid effort. Blackberries, black cherries, hints of earth, and leafy herbs all emerge from this medium-bodied bodied, elegant yet balanced beauty. It’s going to benefit from a year or two and keep for a decade.

Offering up pretty aromas of raspberries, cherries and candied peel, the 2016 Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière is medium-bodied, satiny and nicely concentrated, with good depth at the core, ripe tannins and a penetrating finish. It's an excellent Maranges that Elsa Matrot purchases as grapes from her brother-in-law—who happens to be one of the appellation's best producers.
Organic. Bottled. 100% de-stemmed. This smells a little riper than the Maranges village wine but the tannins are still pretty grippy and dry, though the fruit is in better balance. A bit austere. (JH)
