Tasting Note

The Mercurey Le Printemps Rouge 2020 is a remarkable expression of Pinot Noir, showcasing a highly aromatic profile with a bouquet that beautifully captures the essence of the varietal, featuring nuances of rose and ripe cherry.

This generous vintage maintains a fresh and balanced structure, delivering a well-managed composition in terms of aging, flavor, and density. It presents a splendid opportunity for aging over the next 5 to 7 years.

As a certified organic wine, it exhibits a brilliant red color with notable intensity. The nose reveals aromas that oscillate between rose notes and ripe cherry fragrances, while the palate is full and generous, showcasing a sparkling fruit profile and offering a dense, flavorful juice with well-mastered aging.

Winemaking

Crafted from hand-harvested, entirely destemmed grapes, the wine undergoes traditional Burgundian vinification in temperature-controlled tanks and is aged for 10 months in both barrels and stainless steel tanks.

Winery

The Picard family has established itself as a reference in the Burgundy region by producing cuvées from prestigious terroirs, utilizing biodynamic practices and treating their vineyards with the care typically reserved for Grand Crus. 

In addition to their haute-couture selection, Au pied du Mont Chauve, they also own Domaine Levert-Barault, the oldest vineyard in Mercurey. Spanning just ten hectares of organically cultivated land, this estate has been delivering wines with remarkable ascendance in recent vintages.

It has become the new sensation of the Côte Chalonnaise, a treasure to be seized before it becomes widely recognized.
