Bertrand Bachelet Maranges Rouge
Domaine Bertrand Bachelet
France - Burgundy - Maranges

The Maranges appellation is the youngest of the Côte de Beaune family, making its debut in May 1989. It spans three villages: Dezize-les-Maranges, Cheilly-les-Maranges and Sampigny-les-Maranges. Several hills and slopes make up this appellation, that are south/south-east-facing. This appellation produces mainly red wines comprising 95% of total production.

Bertrand Bachelet Maranges is produced from two villages, Aux Artaux and En Crevèches, both situated in the Cheilly-les-Maranges area. The vineyards spreads over 1.42 hectare (3.50 acres).

The wine offers a deep red color with purplish highlights, a powerful nose with aromas of raspberries, blackcurrants, and small red candied fruits. A silky texture, fresh and elegant on the palate.

james suckling hq logo plain"A pretty nose of sour cherries, redcurrants, dried flowers and sweet spices. It’s light- to medium-bodied with sleek tannins and fresh acidity. Bright and vibrant with a juicy character. Succulent finish. Drink or hold."

2018 Bertrand Bachelet Maranges Rouge - 93PTS - JS

james suckling hq logo plain"Wonderful aromas of blackberries and cherries with hints of smoke and bark, as well as cedar. Full-bodied with chewy tannins that are polished, yet ever so present. Creamy at the end, delivering a spicy and lightly chewy finish. Rather juicy, too. Drinkable now, but better in two or three years. Try after 2022."
