Jean-Claude Regnaudot Maranges La Fussiere 2017 brand_Mezcal Amaras with cooked cranberryMaranges 1er Cru Fussires comes from a 2. 5 acre plot from the premier cru vineyard of La Fussire from very old vines, the oldest planted in 1930. Grapes are hand harvested and sorted in the vineyard. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks and the wine is aged in oak barrels (40% new) for one year before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aromas of cherries, cocoa and cinnamon precede a mouthful of ripe fruit followed by a long and wiry finish.
