Maranges Blanc 2024, Beauregard

Bourgogne Maranges Blanc – Stéphanie & Jérôme Depernon

A brilliantly pure Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune – rare, refined and irresistible.

🍇 A white Maranges with class

White Maranges is rare — very rare. But when it’s done right, as with Stéphanie & Jérôme Depernon, you get a wine that unites the finesse of the Côte de Beaune with the vibrant energy of the southern terroirs.
Aged in oak barrels, this Maranges Blanc enhances Chardonnay’s natural minerality, complexity and elegance beautifully.

This is a wine for those who still believe Meursault costs 30 euros, only to find out it now easily reaches 60 euros or more. Fortunately, this appellation still offers relief — both for your wallet and in your glass.

Maranges forms the southernmost tip of the Côte de Beaune, and by extension, the entire Côte d’Or. Although the vineyards are geographically located mostly within the Saône-et-Loire department—at the same latitude as the Côte Chalonnaise—the Maranges AOC truly belongs to the Côte de Beaune. The reason lies in its terroir: its geological characteristics align perfectly with those of the rest of the district.

👃 Tasting Notes

Nose: delicate citrus, white peach, subtle floral notes and a hint of flint.
Palate: a perfect balance of freshness and creaminess; the oak is refined and elegant, never heavy, lifting the wine without disturbing its purity.
Finish: long, bright, mineral and elegant. Avoid serving too cold to preserve the beautiful length.
