La Fussière is the largest climat of Maranges (next to Santenay at the very south of the Côte de Beaune), covering an area of almost 35 hectares. It faces south towards the start of the Côte Chalonnaise, on a slope between 290 and 400 metres ASL. Alongside a cracking red from these marly limestone soils, Bachelet-Monnot has long crafted an exceptionally pure and taut white Burgundy from a small parcel of 40-year-old Chardonnay vines occupying the vineyard's highest reaches. This is a ridiculously refined and delicious wine for the appellation. Expect a white Burgundy of striking purity, with all kinds of citrussy fruit and a long, chalky close.
