2022 Domaine Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru Clos Roussots

90-92 points, Vinous
"The 2022 Maranges Clos Rousseau (sic) 1er Cru is the first release after the family's tiny parcel has been supplemented by a fermage to make half a hectare, vinified without S02 until the end of élevage and 100% whole bunches. The tightly wound black fruited bouquet unfolds in the glass with white pepper and a touch of bay leaf. The palate is medium- bodied with finely chiseled tannins, quite compact at the moment with a grippy finish suggesting that it will require 3-4 years in bottle."  Neal Martin

"The domaine always owned a small plot but now have taken back some more, to make nearly half a hectare, so there is enough for a cuvée this year. It has been made in a different way too: all whole bunch vinification and no sulphur until racking. A fine dark purple in colour. The bouquet has an exceptional energy, the vibrant dark berry fruit completely filling the palate. Spice and white pepper at the back, giving a drier note to the otherwise sweet fruit, then a whole cherry perfume right at the finish. Entrancing. Slightly riper fruit here, 13.7% at harvest. Tasted Oct 2023." - Jasper Morris MW
