Mercurey 1er Cru Les Champs Martin Bruno Lorenzon 2016
Bruno Lorenzo took over the family estate in 1997, after a career in various fields including consulting in cooperage. This experience gave him a sharp eye for selecting the best oak for his casks, which are seasoned for at least three years and crafted on his property. Bruno also gained valuable experience working in vineyards in South Africa and New Zealand. When he took over the family estate, now covering 10 hectares, he chose to showcase the marley limestone slopes and old vines, mainly located on Premier Cru plots on the finest south- and south-west-facing slopes of Mercurey. The vines have long been cultivated as naturally as possible, following organic practices, without weedkillers or chemical inputs. The soils are carefully worked, and drawing inspiration from the methods of Lalou Bize-Leroy, the winegrower trains his vines high to optimise photosynthesis and berry ripening. Regarded as a veritable craftsman of Chardonnay, Bruno Lorenzo is undoubtedly a rising star worthy of your attention.
