Style

Vineyard

Located in Maranges, at the southern end of the Côte de Beaune. Vineyards are planted on limestone and clay soils, contributing to freshness, bright fruit, and a lighter structure.

Winery

Hand-harvested grapes, carefully sorted and gently extracted. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels (mostly used) to preserve fruit purity and finesse.

Nose/Palate

Red berries, cherry, floral notes, and light spice on the nose, followed by a light to medium-bodied palate with bright acidity, soft tannins, fresh red fruit, subtle earthy nuances, and a clean, elegant, easy-drinking finish.

Maranges is the southernmost appellation of the Côte de Beaune, located at the transition between the Côte d’Or and the vineyards of the Côte Chalonnaise. The appellation covers the villages of Cheilly-lès-Maranges, Dezize-lès-Maranges and Sampigny-lès-Maranges.

Maranges is best known for Pinot Noir, although Chardonnay also plays an important role. The vineyards occupy south- and south-east-facing slopes with varied limestone, marl and clay soils, creating wines that combine ripe fruit with freshness and mineral structure.

Pinot Noir from Maranges typically shows red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry and red plum, with delicate floral, earthy and spicy notes. The wines are generally supple and approachable, with fresh acidity, fine tannins and a savoury mineral finish.

The appellation has a long history of viticulture but has traditionally received less attention than the famous villages further north. This has allowed quality-focused growers to offer wines with a particularly attractive combination of terroir expression, elegance and value.

The higher and cooler sites can produce more lifted and mineral wines, while warmer exposures bring greater fruit richness and roundness. Chardonnay from Maranges often shows citrus, orchard fruit and white flowers, with a fresh, chalky character.

Maranges offers an authentic and accessible expression of southern Côte de Beaune — fresh, elegant and terroir-driven, with excellent value compared with Burgundy’s more famous appellations.

2024 was a cool, challenging and fresh vintage in Maranges, marked by a wet growing season, frost and reduced yields. The return of warmer and drier conditions towards harvest helped the grapes reach good maturity while preserving the freshness of the southern Côte de Beaune.

Pinot Noir shows bright red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry and red plum, with delicate floral and spicy notes. The palate is fresh and energetic, supported by fine tannins, vibrant acidity and a subtle mineral backbone.

Compared with the warmer 2022 and 2023 vintages, 2024 is more restrained and linear, with greater emphasis on freshness, finesse and purity of fruit rather than concentration.

2024 Maranges is a vibrant and elegant vintage — fresh, approachable and finely structured, offering a clear expression of this southern Côte de Beaune terroir with excellent value.
