Description
Mercurey 1er Cru “Les Saumonts” 2024 from Domaine Ninot is a distinguished expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte Chalonnaise in Burgundy. Domaine Ninot is known for crafting wines that highlight purity, precision and a strong sense of terroir, working carefully across their vineyard holdings in Mercurey to produce elegant and balanced cuvées.
The climat “Les Saumonts” is one of Mercurey’s well-regarded premier cru sites, benefiting from favorable exposure and limestone-rich soils that bring freshness, structure and aromatic clarity to the wines. These conditions allow Pinot Noir to express both ripeness and finesse, resulting in wines that are vibrant yet refined.
The 2024 vintage shows a bright ruby colour. The nose is expressive and delicate, opening on aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, complemented by floral hints of violet and subtle spicy undertones.
On the palate, the wine is supple and well-defined, with fine-grained tannins and a fresh, energetic backbone. The fruit is pure and juicy, carried by a mineral tension that gives length and precision. The finish is elegant, persistent and marked by classic Burgundy finesse.
This Mercurey 1er Cru is an excellent match for roasted poultry, duck, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or lightly gamey meats. It can be enjoyed in its youth for its fruit purity, or cellared for several years to develop greater complexity and depth.
