With such poor yields in 2021, Nathalie Theulot reached out to some grower friends to help make up some quantity. One such wine was a delicious Mercurey cuvée drawn from a plot of millerandage-affected (hen and chicken) grapes from a south-facing vineyard on clay-limestone. The successes of that wine encouraged Nathalie Theulot to add a new label to her small portfolio of négociant wines.

The winemaking is geared towards delicacy and vibrancy to craft an open and supple red Burgundy that can be approached from the word go: cold soaking, minimal extraction and just a lick of new oak. The result is a crowd-pleasingly perfumed, juicy, red-fruited Burgundy, with supple tannins and bright underlying acidity combining to great effect.
