2016 Maranges Premier Cru Fussières Thierry et Pascale Matrot, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2016 Maranges Premier Cru Fussières, Thierry et Pascale Matrot

Offering up pretty aromas of raspberries, cherries and candied peel, the 2016 Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière is medium-bodied, satiny and nicely concentrated, with good depth at the core, ripe tannins and a penetrating finish. It's an excellent Maranges that Elsa Matrot purchases as grapes from her brother-in-law—who happens to be one of the appellation's best producers. - William Kelley, Jan. 2019

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2016 Maranges Premier Cru Fussières, Thierry et Pascale Matrot

An overtly earthy yet still very pretty nose blends notes of plum, red currant and discreet spice nuances with those of floral and a wisp of wood. Once again there is a nicely refined mouth feel to the medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the slightly rustic finish that is firm enough to suggest that this should offer mid-term development potential. - Allen Meadows, Apr. 2018
