In Mercurey, a village nestled in Burgundy on the famous Côte Chalonnaise, the Michel Julliot Estate, which has existed for four generations, cultivates 30 hectares of vines producing a large selection of the best "climats" Mercurey has to offer. And the walled parcel “Clos des Barraults” is certainly their best! With a perfect south-southwest aspect, 900 feet in elevation, from vines planted in 1972, 1980 and 1995, Clos des Barraults sets a standard for Mercurey that few can match!
18 months in oak, 30% new, gives the wine an up-front spiciness and accessibility. All the grapes are destemmed, so there are no excess stem tannins, just gorgeously ripe and attractive notes of strawberry, raspberries and anise melded perfectly with fine tannins. Proprietor Michel Juillot, the fourth generation owner of the estate, purchased a new press in 2009 that has led to a more gentle extraction of the fruit, resulting in finer, more refined tannins.
