Louis Violland, a respected producer in Burgundy, is celebrated for crafting wines that capture the essence of the Côte Chalonnaise region. Mercurey, one of the most esteemed appellations in the area, is known for its rich, vibrant Pinot Noir. The 2021/22 vintage from Louis Violland continues this tradition, offering a beautifully balanced wine that highlights the terroir’s unique qualities. The vintages were shaped by a cooler growing season, which resulted in wines with bright acidity and refined elegance. This Pinot Noir opens with aromas of red cherries, raspberries, and delicate floral notes, alongside a hint of earthy undertones typical of Burgundy. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins, offering layers of fresh red fruit, subtle spice, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and refreshing, making it a versatile wine for various occasions. This Mercurey pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, from roast chicken and pork to lighter vegetarian fare like stuffed mushrooms or a beetroot salad. It’s a delightful expression of Burgundy’s charm, drinking beautifully now but with the potential to evolve over the next few years.
