An unpretentious, succulent red, the 2017 Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière bursts with exuberant aromas of cherries, loamy soil and a subtle hint of pencil lead. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and expressive, with youthfully chewy tannins and a generous core of fruit. Elsa Matrot contends that this site performs well in vintages that yield abundant juice, and her 2017 is certainly persuasive.
