Maranges Premier Cru Les Clos Roussots

Harvested on the Maranges vineyard, that forms the link between Côte-d'Or and Saône-et-Loire, this powerful Burgundy Premier Cru has a complex nose on black fruits and cherry aromas mixed with licorice and spices notes.

The wine is aged for 9 months in 228 liters oak barrels with 30% new oak.

Wine Production

Grapes are harvested by hand and totally destemmed. Maceration lasts about 3 weeks. Traditional vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled concrete vats with daily punching days and pumpings-over.

Tasting Notes

 A powerful, complex nose, with aromas of black fruit and cherry mingling with spicy notes.

Rich, robust and compact in the mouth, this wine remains round and flavoursome, with aromas of  wild fruit and liquorice.

Food Pairing

Serve with poultry and red meat, on exotic and spicy dishes. Also with ham and cockerel sauce, but also spring rolls, barbecued pork ribs. All these dishes will perfectly accompany this fruity and spicy wine.
