    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Génot Boulanger, Mercurey, En Sazenay, 1er Cru, 2018

    Beautifully delicate, soft red berry fruits. Light, smooth and pretty rather than profound with some bright cherry fruit shining through. Light on its feet and juicy. Pure uncomplicated joy. A 1.81ha parcel situated at the top of a steep east-facing slope. De-stalked and aged in 20% new oak barrels for 12 months followed by six months in tank.

    ABV:
    13%
    87-89/100

    The 2020 Mercurey Sazenay 1er Cru comes from vines replanted in 1998 with a massale selection with one-third of the old vines maintained. Strawberry and raspberry preserve on the nose, though not jammy, the palate is well balanced with a little more backbone than the Les Saumonts, through I prefer the joie-de-vivre on its fellow Mercurey.
