With such poor yields in 2021, Nathalie Theulot reached out to some grower friends to help make up some quantity. One such wine is this delicious Mercury cuvée drawn from a plot of millerandage-affected grapes (hen and chicken) from a south-facing vineyard on clay-limestone. To craft an open and supple red Burgundy that can be approached from the word go, the winemaking was geared towards delicacy and vibrancy: cold soaking, minimal extraction and just a lick of new oak. The result is a crowd-pleasingly perfumed, juicy, red-fruited Burgundy, with supple tannins and bright underlying acidity combining to great effect.
