Critical Recognition
- 88 Points - Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy: A blend from three plots, all destemmed. A glowing ruby colour. A delicious immediate red fruit, floral. Very good tension, quite high acidity even, some oak though only 15% new wood has been used. Fair length. Drink from 2027-2029. Tasted Mar 2025 by Jasper Morris MW.
Highlights
- 100% Pinot Noir harvested from village parcels across the commune of Dezize-lès-Maranges in the southern reaches of the Côte de Beaune.
- Cultivated on classic Jurassic limestone and marl soils with south and south-east exposures, promoting fine natural drainage, warm fruit maturity, and lively freshness.
- Produced by Bertrand Bachelet, fourth-generation vigneron based directly in Maranges, known for precision viticulture and pure, low-intervention vinifications.
- Aged for approximately 12 months in French oak barrels (around 20% new oak) followed by settling in stainless steel vats before bottling to tame tannins while preserving primary fruit vibrancy.
- From the warm, expressive 2023 Burgundy harvest; offers lovely immediate appeal with the balance to drink gracefully through 2030+.
Tasting Notes
Bright ruby-red with brilliant purple reflections, it opens with expressive aromas of ripe red cherries, wild raspberries, and redcurrants, accompanied by violet petals, forest floor, and a dusting of white pepper. The palate is medium-bodied, supple, and charming, carrying juicy red fruit over fine-grained tannins and balanced limestone freshness, concluding on a clean, lingering, and delicately savory finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 14–16°C in standard Burgundy or Pinot Noir stemware.
- Decanting: Best served with 15 to 25 minutes of gentle aeration in the glass to allow its red fruit perfume and subtle spice to blossom. Peak drinking window now through 2030+.
