This 2019 Mercurey Premier Cru "Les Champs Martins" from Domaine Michel Juillot offers a refined intertwining of dark cherry and discreet earthy notes, complemented by a whisper of forest undergrowth and menthol nuances on the nose. On the palate it reveals firm noble tannins, a sinewy structure and a balanced tension that speaks of mineral fidelity and a rustic yet elegant temperament.
