Maranges Rouge 2024

• Le Bas des Loyères lies in Sampigny-lès-Maranges, just below Premier Cru Le Clos des Loyères.
• The south-facing parcel was planted in 1970 at approximately 200 metres.
• White marl and limestone retain water while contributing finesse and mineral definition.
• Yield is controlled at approximately 40 hectolitres per hectare.

• The 2024 fruit was harvested manually and rigorously sorted in the vineyard and cellar.
• Pinot Noir was destemmed without crushing and fermented with indigenous yeasts.
• Approximately two weeks of fermentation and maceration in wooden vats, with gentle pump-overs and punch-downs guided by tasting.
• No sulfites during vinification; additions only after malolactic fermentation and before bottling.

Twelve months in oak barrels followed by a period in tank for harmonization and stabilization. The measured élevage develops complexity while protecting the fine tannins, freshness and natural elegance that characterize the 2024 vintage.

Bright red fruit and floral notes meet subtle spice and a clear mineral freshness. The palate is precise and energetic, with refined tannins, natural elegance and the purity of expression associated with Maison A&S's 2024 Pinot Noir.

• Old-vine Pinot Noir from a south-facing, white-marl parcel.
• A demanding, low-yield 2024 season produced fresh, precise and refined reds.
• Gentle extraction and restrained sulfur use preserve aromatic clarity.
