This is a Pinot Noir with serious shoulders. It opens with an alluring bouquet of dark plum, black cherry, baking spice and a distinct rocky minerality. The palate is intensely concentrated and wonderfully plush, showcasing layers of dark bramble fruit interwoven with perfectly integrated oak and a touch of savoury forest floor. The tannins are firm yet remarkably polished, driving a finish that lingers on the palate for ages. Decant it for an hour if you're opening it tonight, or tuck it away in the cellar for the next decade.

Why do we love this wine?
Mercurey is famous for producing some of the most robust and structured red wines in the entire Côte Chalonnaise, and 'Les Saumonts' is one of its most highly regarded Premier Cru sites. The steep, rocky slopes here provide incredible drainage and sun exposure, leading to grapes with phenomenal concentration and depth. Domaine Ninot treats this prized terroir with the utmost respect, utilising organic farming and minimal intervention in the winery to let the site speak for itself. It's a masterful expression of a truly great vineyard.
