Domaine Michel Juillot
Clos Tonnerre Mercurey 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Tonight I have opened a Pinot Noir from Burgundy. The nose brings a beautiful Strawberry, Cranberry, a bit herbaceous, a little smokey oak, some mushroom and wet stone. on the palate I get hit right away with cherries, under ripe strawberries, sassafras, rhubarb and mushroom. There are medium tannins a bit drying, medium acidity, toasty oak and forest floor. Not a bad burgundy and at $23.99 very doable.

Nov 7th, 2014Plenty of cherry on nose and palate. Quite broad and full and very approachable. I’d say a few years will open up a whole lot more complexity but it’s good drinking already.
