Maranges 1er Cru "La Fussiere" 2005, Marinot-Verdun
The Maranges appellation is the least well known Cote d'Or appellation and the wine is hard to find outside France. Created in 1989 it is the southern-most Cote de Beaune vineyard near Santenay. The 1er Crus do not match the quality of the 1er Crus of the more famous Cote d'Or vineyards. Nevertheless big name producers like Domaine Leroy, Joseph Drouhin, Louis Latour produce Maranges. Not obvious why the Jures-Gourmet de la Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin selected this under par effort. In 2005 the appellation produced 6,582 hectolitres of red wine. For comparison Marsannay produced 5,600 hectolitres of red in 2005.
