WINE DESCRIPTION
This Mercurey Premier Cru Clos du Roi is a premium red wine crafted by renowned Burgundy winemaker Michel Juillot. The Mercurey appellation is celebrated for its exceptional Pinot Noir wines. The vineyard's old vines grow in clay-limestone soils with hard marble pebbles, imparting a distinctive minerality to the wine. The grapes are 100% destemmed before fermentation and aged in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. This wine exemplifies the classic Burgundy style, balancing fruit and acidity perfectly.
