Michel Juillot Mercurey "Clos du Roi" rouge 2021

Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, France. Sustainable. 100% Pinot Noir. From 20, 35 and 43-year-old vines planted on clay limestone soils covered with hard marble pebbles. The grapes are 100% destemmed prior to fermentation and aged 18 months in oak barrels (35% new). Red raspberry punctuated by subtle floral, spice, earth, and oak nuances. Refined, middle weight flavors display more evident minerality on the vibrant, intense, and driving flavors that deliver excellent depth and length on the mildly austere finale. Lovely.
