Although the soil is like that of neighboring Santenay, Maranges is not strictly east-facing and its terrain is more diverse. Maranges is often described as fleshy, rich, and characterful.

“A ripe but attractively fresh nose speaks of humus, freshly turned earth, violet and poached plum. There is both good richness and volume to the overtly rustic medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent complexity on the reasonably long finish. This won’t win any awards for refinement; indeed as I note, it is markedly rustic, but the depth is really very good and particularly so for such a young wine. This is one to load up on provided a bit of inelegance is acceptable plus it should age gracefully for a decade, perhaps even a bit more.”-90BH♥, outstanding
