Maison A&S Maranges 'La Tête de Fer' Blanc 2024
Vintage Character
Maison A&S Maranges 'La Tête de Fer' Blanc 2024 is a village Chardonnay from a season of heavy rain, high mildew pressure and reduced yields. Cool, variable weather disturbed flowering, but the absence of prolonged summer heat extended ripening; drier conditions before the September harvest then allowed careful selection of healthy fruit. In Maranges, that sequence favoured acidity and aromatic precision over sheer richness. La Tête de Fer consequently shows pear, yellow apple and white flowers supported by a firmer mineral line. The small crop gives concentration, while measured ripeness keeps the wine energetic and saline, making 2024 a tauter and more transparent expression than a warmer, earlier vintage.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The aromatic profile opens with pear, yellow apple, peach and white flowers, followed by lees, almond and restrained toast. The palate is medium-bodied, with medium-high acidity and low tannins. With air and bottle age, honey, hazelnut and dried citrus should become more evident without obscuring the wine's primary character. Serve it with grilled fish, shellfish or roast poultry; these dishes match the wine's weight and savoury detail while allowing its acidity to refresh the palate.
Winery Background
Maison A&S is the producer, and the listed winemaker is Alexandre. Hand-harvested fruit is pressed promptly and fermented with indigenous yeasts, with restrained élevage supporting rather than covering the site. This approach supports the stated dry profile and keeps fruit, structure and site legible. For a buyer or restaurant list, the value lies in a defined origin, recognisable producer identity and a style that can be explained without unsupported claims. Proper storage will protect freshness and detail, while brief aeration can reveal further mineral, floral or savoury nuance. It is best assessed for balance, persistence and fidelity to its stated origin, not for exaggerated ripeness or cosmetic oak.
