Description
This wine is sourced from vines planted in 1943 and 1947. David Moreau focuses on expressing the purity of his terroir while delivering a finessed, charming, ageable wine. This one typically offers a supple, refined experience that strikes a perfect balance between the intensity of the strawberry fruit and a delicately articulated rustic provenance. Precise and pure, it will drink until 2028+.

Tasting Notes
The 2015 Maranges is one of the more juicy, overt wines in the range. A dollop of whole clusters (around 20%) adds aromatic complexity and freshness to the creamy, layered fruit. Red cherry, stone fruit and floral notes all flesh out effortlessly. The Maranges is perhaps a bit less refined than some of the other wines in this range, but it is also flat-out delicious. The 2015 is a blend of two parcels, one of them Cheilly, a villages, and the second Clos Roussots, which is a declassified 1er Cru. Drinking window: 2017-2023. Score - 89-91.
