Nathalie Theulot “Juillet” Mercurey Millerandage 2021
This is a classic Burgundy pinot noir, showing blackberry and blueberry along with some nicely integrated old-oak woodsy notes. It elegantly balances soft and expansive fruit notes with an earthy, foxy element. Best enjoyed decanted, this will shine paired with quail or duck.
Millerandage refers to when the growing conditions of a vintage produce uneven sized grapes, thus changing the juice-to-skin ratio due to the presence of the smaller-sized grapes. In pinot noir, this has a welcome effect of adding a touch more density and tannin to a typically lighter and more delicate wine.
Practicing organic. 100% pinot noir. Mercurey, Burgundy, France.
