2021 Mercurey Rouge, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

Description

This comes from a parcel towards the foot of the slope in the En Garnerot vineyard. Everything is always destemmed for this wine. The bouquet is appealing and fresh, with more than just a hint of sour cherry. The weight is more intense than expected both on the nose and the palate.

Drink 2023 - 2030

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 85/100

Quite a dark purple in colour. A nutty nose again, a fair core of deep red fruit with a slightly severe finish on tannins and not quite ripe acidity.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
