Maranges 1er Cru Fussiere Thomas Morey 2020

Bright ruby with purple highlights, this 2020 Maranges 1er Cru shows aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, layered with violet, spice, and a hint of earth. The palate is energetic and medium-bodied, with juicy red fruit carried by firm but fine tannins. A lively acidity lends lift and precision, while notes of herbs, mineral spice, and subtle oak nuance add complexity. The finish is long, vibrant, and structured — a wine that balances youthful generosity with potential for ageing.

Thomas Morey, better known for his Chassagne-Montrachet holdings, also crafts reds from carefully chosen parcels in the Côte de Beaune. La Fussière is the largest and most renowned premier cru of Maranges, with south and southeast-facing slopes on limestone and clay soils that deliver both ripeness and structure. The warm, generous 2020 vintage highlights these qualities, producing a Pinot Noir of depth and concentration while maintaining freshness — a fine expression of a rising appellation in Burgundy.
