Morey Maranges 1. Cru La Fussiére 2022

Morey Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière 2022 is a poised and characterful red Burgundy that showcases the rising quality of the Maranges appellation. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir by Domaine Vincent et Sophie Morey, this premier cru bottling delivers the finesse and aromatic precision you’d expect from more famous Côte de Beaune villages, but with a touch more wild charm and exceptional value. La Fussière is the flagship premier cru of Maranges, historically known for producing structured, ageworthy wines with real depth and personality.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 Morey Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière presents a vibrant ruby color with youthful purple reflections, signalling both freshness and concentration. The nose is expressive and layered, opening with red cherries, wild strawberries and macerated raspberries, then evolving toward rose petals, subtle violet, and a gentle undercurrent of forest floor, spice and a touch of smoked tea. On the palate, the wine is supple yet energetic, with fine-grained tannins and a well-defined backbone of acidity that keeps the fruit lifted and precise. Flavors of ripe red berry fruit are joined by hints of cranberry, red currant, and a delicate note of baking spice and earth that speaks clearly of Burgundian terroir. The finish is long and elegant, with mineral tension and a savory twist that invites another sip. Enjoyable in its youth for its juicy fruit and perfume, the 2022 vintage also has the structure and balance to age gracefully for 6–10 years, gaining further complexity and silkiness with time in bottle.

Production
La Fussière is the best-known premier cru of Maranges, set on well-exposed slopes at the southern gateway of the Côte de Beaune. The terroir here combines limestone-rich soils with clay and stones, giving Pinot Noir both aromatic purity and a firm, mineral spine. Domaine Vincent et Sophie Morey work their vineyards with great care, typically harvesting by hand to ensure meticulous selection of perfectly ripe, healthy grapes. In the cellar, the fruit is gently destemmed (often with a portion of whole clusters retained, depending on the vintage) and fermented in temperature-controlled vats to preserve delicate Pinot aromas. Aging generally takes place in French oak barrels, with a judicious use of new oak so that the wood supports rather than dominates the wine’s character. The result is a precise, terroir-driven Maranges 1er Cru that remains true to its origin while offering the refinement associated with top Côte de Beaune reds.

Food & Serving
This Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière 2022 is a versatile food partner, beautifully suited to dishes that echo its finesse and gentle earthiness. Pair it with roast chicken, duck breast, veal chops, or pork tenderloin, as well as mushroom-based dishes, game birds, and classic Burgundian cuisine like coq au vin or oeufs en meurette. It also works well with semi-soft cheeses such as Comté, Morbier, or a mild Tomme. For optimal enjoyment, serve at 14–16°C. Decanting for 30–45 minutes in its youth will help the wine open up its aromatic profile and soften the tannins, while more mature bottles can be served directly after a gentle pour to preserve their delicate bouquet.

Producer
Domaine Vincent et Sophie Morey is a respected family estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet, with roots that run deep in the vineyards of the southern Côte de Beaune. Born into two renowned Burgundian families, Vincent (of the Morey clan) and Sophie (née Belland) combined their know-how and vineyard holdings to create a domaine that spans several important appellations, from Chassagne and Puligny to the increasingly acclaimed Maranges. Their philosophy centers on meticulous work in the vines, controlled yields, and sensitive, low-intervention winemaking that lets each terroir speak clearly. Over the years, the domaine has earned a strong reputation among Burgundy enthusiasts for producing wines that are both precise and expressive, offering a compelling mix of typicity, elegance, and value—particularly in lesser-known but high-potential appellations like Maranges.
