2016 MARANGES 1ER CRU « LA FUSSIÈRE (Pinot Noir)

This wine was a gift from a friend that we exchanged wines.  He has very expensive taste.  lol, this is a Pinot Noir from France.  Coming from one of the most expensive, rich region of Burgundy.  Here are some  notes:

• 100% Pinot Noir, on clay, marl and limestone rocks.
• Aged for one year on average, followed by several months in vats to stabilize the wine before bottling.
• Brilliant ruby robe, raspberry. A striking nose, with an aroma of red fruit, blackcurrant. Fresh on the palate, with peppery notes

La Fussiere is a large Premier Cru vineyard at the very southern end of the Cote d'Or, within the Maranges appellation. It is located on the south-facing vineyard above the village of Dezize-les-Maranges, and is planted mainly to Pinot Noir with a small amount of Chardonnay as well
