Vincent et Jean-Pierre Charton Derrière Sazenay 2022, A.C. Bourgogne, France
Bourgogne Derrière Sazenay from Vincent et Jean-Pierre is a beautifully expressive Pinot Noir that offers a glimpse into the finesse of Burgundy at its most approachable. Sourced from a single lieu-dit, the wine shows bright red cherry and wild strawberry aromas, layered with subtle earthy notes and a gentle touch of spice. On the palate it is fresh and finely balanced, with silky tannins and a lingering, elegant finish.
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.
