Ruby red with soft purplish reflections. Rich and complex on the nose, very reminiscent of small fruits of brambles, black cherry and a very delicate hint of softwood. On the palate it is decisive, complex and extraordinarily persistent.
Review:
Complex aromas of ripe fruit, toffee, cedar and smoke. Medium body, round and creamy tannins and a fresh, juicy finish.

Bachelet Bertrand Maranges Rouge Premier Cru Clos Roussots is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
The Maranges appellation is the youngest of the Côte de Beaune family, making its debut in May 1989. It spans three villages: Dezize-lès-Maranges, Cheilly-les-Maranges and Sampigny-les-Maranges. Several hills and slopes make up this appellation, that are south/south-east-facing.
'Les Clos Roussots' is a Premier Cru vineyard in Cheilly-les-Maranges, producing wines with depth and structure.
The wine offers deep ruby color with purple highlights. Aromatic nose of dark berries, spice, and a mineral edge. The palate is full-bodied with firm yet silky tannins and a long finish.
Pairs well with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.
