Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Body: Light to medium
Notes: Elegant and fragrant. Red cherry, raspberry, dried rose, forest floor, and a silky, mineral finish with fine-grained tannins and real Burgundian soul. The Côte de Beaune's best kept secret.
Pairing: Duck breast, roasted chicken, mushroom dishes, aged Comté, or a quiet dinner that deserves a serious bottle.
Bachelet-Monnot Maranges Rouge 1er Cru "La Fussière" is sourced from the highest elevation vineyard in Maranges — sitting at 250–350 meters altitude on red clay and chalk soils at the southern tip of the Côte de Beaune. The vines are 50+ years old, farmed with practicing organic methods, and hand-harvested to maintain the integrity of the fruit. Vinified with 30% whole cluster for aromatic complexity and spice, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in 228L barrels with just 20% new oak to build structure while preserving freshness. Maranges is one of Burgundy's most undervalued appellations — offering genuine premier cru Pinot Noir at a fraction of the price of its more famous neighbors to the north, and Bachelet-Monnot is among its finest producers.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
