Chevrot Maranges 1Er Clos Roussots Rouge 2022

The Chevrot family has been producing wine in Maranges since 1830. Currently, the winery is managed by brothers Pablo and Vincent Chevrot. Their parents initiated the bottling of wines under the Domaine Chevrot label in the 1970s, significantly contributing to Maranges' recognition as an appellation in 1988. Prior to this, the region's wines were simply labeled as Côte de Beaune - Villages. The Maranges appellation encompasses three quaint villages: Dezize, Sampagny, and Cheilly. Pablo Chevrot, who once presided over the Maranges appellation, is an excellent resource for inquiries about the area. Besides overseeing the winery, he is also a founding member and Vice President of "Les Aligoteurs," a collective dedicated to the promotion of premium aligoté wine crafted by skilled vintners.

'A fine deep and even purple. The bouquet has a class and a coherence lacking in the Savigny. Clean red berry fruit, mainly raspberry, with an excellent fruit acid balance and a pleasing absence of rusticity. Just the right ripeness. Fine length. Drink from 2026-2031.' 89-91Pts Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

Marl and clay soils. Bottom of the slope and well irrigated. 100% destemmed. 30% new oak. Cask sample. Medium ruby. Bright red fruits, cherry, redcurrants and raspberry; some florals too on top. Medium-bodied with plenty of oak on show. Beware the tannins, creeping up in crescendo. Lots of power here.' 16.5Pts/20 Matthew Hayes, jancisrobinson.com
