2022 Philippe Le Hardi Mercurey 1er Cru Les Puillets

From one of the highest of the Mercurey premier crus, this wine has a crisp edge to its otherwise ripe red fruits. It has a fine line of wood as well as the juicy fruitiness and acidity. The eight hectare Les Puillets vineyard is located on the south-south west facing hillside slopes in the appellation of Mercurey. This Pinot Noir has woody notes with a touch of kirsch and red cherry and redcurrant flavors on the palate.
