Underneath its dark ruby color, our Maranges Premier Cru "Le Clos des Loyères" 2021 explodes with aromas of raspberry and cherry, nuanced by subtle spicy notes. The same flavors on the palate highlight the personality of this elegant and perfectly balanced wine. The finish is long and mineral.
Located in the very south of the Côte de Beaune, the marly-clay and limestone-rich soils of the Maranges "Le Clos des Loyères" vineyard produce a Pinot Noir bursting with freshness, energy and length. Created in 1988, the Maranges appellation includes three villages – Cheilly-lès-Maranges, Dezize-lès-Maranges, and Sampigny-lès-Maranges – and has seven Premiers Crus.
Hand-harvested grapes, hand-sorted on a vibrating table. 100% whole-cluster destemmed, placed into stainless steel fermentation vats by gravity flow. Weeks-long maceration, minimal pumping-over and punching-down. Pressing in pneumatic press. Placed in French oak barrels for aging on fine lees. No filtration before bottling.
