Maranges 1er Cru Domaine Rodet Château de Mercey Les clos Roussots (sans prix de réserve-no reserve) 2009

The wine

Maranges produces powerful wines. Always very colourful, the red wines release aromas of small red fruits and undergrowth. A touch of fur can be detected when they are mature. Their tannins are reinforced with a lovely mellowness that produces a really meaty wine which is ample and firm on the palate. There is a small production of rich well-balanced white wines with almond and exotic fruit aromas.
