Maranges 1er Cru Clos Des Rois Domaine Derats Dumay 2003

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.
