Jean Baptiste Jessiaume Mercurey Rouge 2022, 750ml

Sourced from sustainably farmed Pinot Noir vines planted on steep, east-facing clay-limestone soils in the Mercurey appellation. The grapes are fully destemmed and macerated at low temperature for 3 to 5 days to extract soft color and aromatic precursors. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in open-top, temperature-controlled vats with light manual pigeage and remontage. The wine ages for 10 to 12 months on fine lees in French oak barrels (15% new oak, 85% neutral barrels) before bottling without filtration.

Tasting Note:

Aromas of dark cherry, wild strawberry, and black plum pair with notes of dried herbs, subtle forest floor, and baking spice. The palate is dry, medium-bodied, and structured, featuring a core of dark berry fruit balanced by firm, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is clean, long, and earthy.
