Domaine Michel Juillot, Clos Tonnerre Rouge, Mercurey Premier Cru, 2022

$49.00

Domaine Michel Juillot is one of the key names in Mercurey, known for a longstanding focus on detailed vineyard work and traditional approach in the cellar. Clos Tonnerre is a favored premier cru on the western side of the village, where clay-limestone soils and a slightly wind-exposed slope help produce Pinot Noir with ripeness and shape. The domaine farms responsibly and vinifies parcel by parcel, always aiming for clarity and balance.

The 2022 Clos Tonnerre Rouge is vivid and well-defined, offering red cherry, raspberry and a touch of blackberry, accented by subtle spice and warm earth. The palate is smooth and structured, guided by fine tannins and bright acidity that give the wine direction without heaviness. The finish is clean and persistent. This is a confident, polished Mercurey Premier Cru with the generosity of the vintage and the composure that Juillot is known for.

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Mercurey Premier Cru Clos Tonnerre, Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, France

Style: Red. Bright, structured and neatly balanced
