Tasting
Our Maranges 1er Cru Clos Roussots is a magnificent expression of Pinot Noir. Its dark colour and aromas of red fruit, spices and hints of wood are immediately seductive. On the palate, the attack is intense, supported by a fine tannic structure and a peppery freshness that reveals the richness of the terroir. An elegant, refined wine, ideal for drinking young or after a few years' cellaring.
Food and wine pairing
Our Maranges 1er Cru Clos Roussots is the perfect accompaniment to steak tartare, grilled prime rib or roast duck fillet, and goes beautifully with mature cheeses such as Comté or Brie de Meaux.
