Vines planted on steep marly limestone slopes. Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruits and mineral notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry and cherry with herb citrus notes. Full ripe tannins, medium+ finish, balanced acidity, good structure, ending with zesty wet stone and pepper spice character. Should age for next 5-7 years. Tried twice!

Great value. High toned and delightfully twiggy.

Started lean, stayed pretty lean but gave up just the right amount of complexity over 24 hours. Value for sure and extremely regal. Not forward. Absolutely not slutty. You must be intelligent AF to enjoy this ☝🏼️

Great Burgundian pinot noir. very typical of Cote de Beaune pinot a lighter more fruit driven style. I love the tannins and cherries it makes a nice cocktail wine.

This is how I like my Maranges - bright zesty red fruit, spice, and mild earthy loamy flavors. Round, clean, lightly tannic, but overall fresh and fruity and fun. Could drink this all the time.
