The tasting |
|
|
Bright, intense red. |
|
| | |
|
Notes of a fairly ripe Pinot, with balsamic tones, underlined by a serious woodiness in phase with the expression of the fruit, which will develop a patina over time. |
|
| | |
|
Full and vibrant, this cuvée delivers a delightful, intense, and flavorful expression with well-structured, polished tannins. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
A breakout name from the Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine Tupinier-Bautista is the Burgundy label you absolutely don’t want to miss! Now featured in the RVF wine guide and praised by Olivier Poussier — Best Sommelier in the World and member of our Selection Committee — this under-the-radar gem is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
With 11 hectares in Mercurey, Manu Bautista crafts wines of depth and rare balance, with impressively concentrated, pure fruit. His spot-on choices in ripeness and ageing allow each terroir — from village plots to Premier Crus — to speak with clarity. |

The 2023 Red Mercurey Vieilles Vignes is a beautifully crafted Pinot Noir, balancing rich, ripe flavors with just the right touch of oak. Hints of balsamic and a subtle influence from its aging add depth, while time in the bottle will bring even greater harmony. Full and satisfying, with smooth, well-structured tannins, it’s a wine to enjoy over the next 5 to 6 years with dishes like duck breast or roast beef. Rated 92/100 by the Selection Committee. |
