Mercurey Rouge Vieille Vignes 2018, Domaine Theulot-Juillot (6x75cl)

This is a fabulous producer of red and white Mercurey.

Nathalie Theulot inherited her share of the Juillot family domaine in 1987 and is today ably assisted by her husband, Jean-Claude. She believes the best wine starts with the finest quality grapes – there is minimal intervention in the vineyard and all the fruit is carefully handpicked into traditional wicker baskets.

A blend of fruit from three lieux-dits; Clos Laurent, Vaux and Montelons. Lovely, ripe fruit, a touch of toasty oak and a rich, generous texture.  Utterly delicious and a fabulous wine at this price point.
