This charismatic old-vine cuvée is drawn from two plots: Le Chamery in Cheilly-lès-Maranges and Le Clos in Sampigny-lès-Maranges. The mass-selection vines are over 50 years old, and the soils tend towards red clay, shot through with rocky chalk. Alexandre Bachelet notes that these terroirs are reasonably warm, and he sometimes uses some percentage of bunches to balance the depth of fruit. This wasn’t necessary in 2024 as the fruit was so racy anyway. Again, this is bright and red fruited but with more inky depths. Terrific value now, this will be even better with a few years in bottle. Super value.
