    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    An exceptionally present aromatic profile is allied to translucent fruit in this delicate Mercurey, a far cry from the more rustic Pinots the region is known for. Impressive depth and focus, glassy tannins and crystalline cherry fruit on the finish. Class. A cuvee that seems to get better and better with every passing year. A 1.81ha parcel situated at the top of a steep east-facing slope. De-stalked and aged in oak barrels for 12 months followed by 6 months in tank.

    Neal Martin,
    Vinous
    The 2022 Mercurey Sazenay 1er Cru has a little more cohesion and fruit intensity than the Les Saumont because of the south-facing orientation and older vines. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite plush red cherry and strawberry fruit, and a light spiciness towards the finish. Fine.
