Maranges, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Has earth typical of a Maranges but has more fruit than I expected. Solid effort. Nice smoke on the nose.

Nov 2nd, 2016A light ruby core fading out to salmon with med - concentration. The nose was quite fragrant with med intensity and almost med + complexity driven by sweet red fruits, spice, and flowers. Unfortunately the palate was not inline with the nose. The structure was firm and austere creating a drying sensation throughout the mouth. There was little fruit or complexity to help balance the structure. The length was short. #bachaletmonnot #maranges #premiercru #cotedebeaune #pinotnoir #burgundy #ctbucklinwine

Brioche, pineapple, peaches and a hint of vanilla followed with a pineapple core. Soft palate - good richness with a crisp snap on the end.

More reductive than expected but opened up and plenty of apple, honey and spice. Faded a bit over a few hours.

A touch of reduction early then opens up slowly with a very crisp palate balanced with some nice richness and volume, nice.
Reduction un peu, tendu mais avec une certaine rondeur et une touche de richesse. Très bien. 89-90

Slight reduction and sulfur on the nose to eventually fo to lime, lemon, melon and a touch of smoke. Palate is much better, straight, very crisp, nice length for the level. 89-90
Nez réduit, souffré un peu, laisse place à du citron, lime, melon, un peu fumée mais à peine. La bouche est droite, ciselée et savoureuse, belle longueur. 89-90

Very nice, lemon and sea shells, fresh, mineral, nice acidity and backbone from this producer as always, nice balance and decent length, always a good value. 89-90
Très bon, citron et coquillages, frais et minéral avec cette acidité droite propre au producteur, bien équilibré et toujours bien pour le prix.

As always, very nice. Light tension and slightly mineral but with more volume and richness then other vintages, still fairly balanced and better on day 2. 89-90
Très bien comme toujours, belle tension et minéral mais plus de richesse et de volume que certains autres millésimes, bel équilibre quand même et encore meilleur jour 2. 89-90
