Vincent et Jean-Pierre Charton Derrière Sazenay 2022, A.C. Bourgogne, France

This is a finely tuned expression of Bourgogne Pinot Noir, offering lifted aromatics and impressive depth for the level. The wine opens with pure red cherry and wild raspberry fruit, laced with hints of crushed rose, sous-bois and a whisper of clove. There's a lovely mineral edge running through the palate, balanced by sleek acidity and finely grained tannins. With its gentle tension and a long, savoury finish, this single - site cuvée from Mercurey's slopes delivers texture, refinement, and a true sense of place.
