1er cruA wine of great energy and suppleness, richly fruited, wrapped in very silky tannins. A rich nose of black fruit, spice and a liquorice note. The palate is concentrated and generous, juicy fruit balanced by salinity. Medium-term keeping.

So open and giving that it feels like ripe berries are bursting right in the glass, this is replete with blueberries and mulberries kissed with baking spices. The palate is beautifully textured with softish, corduroy tannins and easy-touch but supporting acidity. Almost everyone will love this wine from 70-year-old vines. (CC MW)
Appealing cherry and berry aromas, fine toasty notes, cinnamon and clove. Charming, fresh, lively red berry fruit, inviting acidity, silky texture and tannins. Drink 2026 to 2034.
A red-ochre “Roland Garros” soil facing east. Its raw violet gives an intense nose through its ferrous relief. The attack is juicy, with a broad, savoury grip. Its closing acidity suggests a short year in the cellar.
A rich nose of black fruit, spice and a liquorice touch. The palate is concentrated and generous, the juicy fruit harmonising with salinity. A long finish with welcome rigour.

The plot
Winemaking
Fully destemmed, then received into stainless-steel bins by gravity, the berries go into tank for a five-day cold pre-fermentation maceration at 12°C. Fermentation is natural, on the indigenous yeasts present on the grapes and in the cellar. Alcoholic fermentation in tank, malolactic in barrel. No punching down: we favour pump-overs, twice a day: this is how we keep the wine's freshness and fruit. Vatting off after 15 to 20 days, then pressing.
Ageing
Vinified exclusively in French oak. The barrel stock is renewed by thirds, a third new each year, and the oldest are three years old. Each wine receives its own ratio of new oak.

1er cruMercurey red
A wine for keeping, poised between power and structure, with very silky tannins and a mineral finish bringing freshness. It refines gradually towards a smoother texture after a few years, the most complete of the estate’s Premiers Crus.
Pinot noir
1er cruMercurey red
The southern exposure brings black fruit aromas to this Premier Cru, powerful yet round and fleshy. A sun-filled, generous wine, broad on the palate, with a fine texture that asks only to evolve slowly.
Pinot noir
1er cruMercurey red
The fruitiest and most supple of the estate’s Premiers Crus. A distinctly Pinot nose, a savoury, round palate with fine texture. Sappy and complete, with generous black fruit.
Pinot noir
1er cruMercurey red
A highly expressive, powerful red. The southern exposure of this plot gives generous fruit aromas, centred on cherry. Solid on the palate, and silky.
