Mercurey, En Sazenay, 1er Cru, 2023
justerini & brooks tasting note
Translucent style Pinot Noir, with fine-boned fruit and a definite leaning to red berries and cherry. This is really rather sophisticated and a very complete proposition despite being just 12.5% abv. A cut above your average Mercurey. From 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.

The 2023 Mercurey Sazenay 1er Cru has more cohesion and complexity than the Les Saumonts. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and notes of red cherries and cranberry fruit. It has impressive mineralité with a bright and tender finish. This is a lovely Mercurey to drink over the next five or six years.
