Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Barraults Michel Juillot (Domaine) 2017
13.5%
0.75L
Intensity
A deep and rich Mercurey Premier Cru. To fully appreciate its hints of red fruit, its mineral and lightly wooded notes, leave to mature for several years.
More infoThis wine is élevaged in barrels (30% new wood) for 18 months. Its ruby appearance is characterised by an attractive depth and its nose, which is rather austere in its youth, offers red fruit aromas with mineral, slightly woody notes. The richness of this wine becomes apparent in the mouth, with good concentration, considerable tannic structure and a wonderful length, with jammy fruit flavours.
About the Producer Michel Juillot
Michel Juillot took over the domaine in 1963 and multiplied its operating area six fold in 20 years. Thanks to numerous experiences of trial and error, he eventually found his way and his recipe for quality. His son Laurent, after having travelled around the New World, returned in the 1990s and began to move the vineyard towards responsible and sustainable farming. In recent years, the installation of two meteorological stations has provided the Juillots with constant monitoring, making it possible to minimise the vagaries of the climate and spray less. This family success has greatly increased the prestige of the Mercurey appellation and he now exports to 26 countries.
