Domaine Tupinier-Bautista, Mercurey Vieilles Vignes 2024

Why we love this bottle

Manuel Bautista came from Spain as a child and grew up in the family of his stepfather, the Tupinier family, in the village of Touches near Mercurey. Since 1997 he makes the wine there. He lets it rest in cellars carved out of natural rock, where it stays cool all year. We love it because it is Burgundian craftsmanship with a Spanish heart.

Mercurey lies in the south of Burgundy, where the wines are still affordable. This Pinot Noir comes from vines about half a century old, picked by hand. Sour cherry, cranberry and raspberry. Juicy, fruity and fresh.
