Goedhuis, April 2023
A favourite 1er Cru amongst the vignerons in the appellation. Deep purple colour. The flamboyant generosity of dark wild berry fruits is kept perfectly in check by the energetic drive of earthy minerality. Very full with a long and poised finish.

As prices in the Côte d’Or reach ever higher levels, we are delighted to have made this new discoveries in the hamlet of Touches in Mercurey. The Tupinier family have been making wine in the appellation since 1770. The domaine now takes its name from them and the late Jacques Tupinier’s son-in-law, Manu Bautista. Manu’s presence fills a room, he has a passion for the domaine and family. With no children of his own, he has employed his sister’s two children who will in turn succeed him. He likes to destalk all the fruit and, following a long cold maceration for the colour and flavour, will do a gentle fermentation over a period of two to three weeks. The estate’s style shows off a harmonious richness and confidence.Read less
Region
Mercurey
Located in the heart of the Cote Chalonnaise, Mercurey has the largest area under vine and produces the most structured wines in the district. A little white is produced, but it is robust earthy reds from Pinot Noir grown on limestone and marl soil that are most interesting. In the 16th Century Henri IV's lover Gabrielle d'Estrees was a fan, although the King himself preferred neighbouring Givry.
