Les Combins is one of Mercurey’s sweet-spot Premiers Crus. Exposed due south, it rises from the village on a slight slope flanked by the two combes of Mercurey. The domaine’s mass-selection cuttings were planted between 1978 and 1988 and sit at 275 metres. The soils are Oxfordian beige marl, and yields are kept below 40 hl/ha. The winemaking is broadly similar to the Vieilles Vignes, with slightly longer on skins, including a four-day cold soak to leach out the prettiest fruit without extracting tannin. The aging, too, is somewhat longer—14 months instead of 12. Raised with 25% new oak, there is plenty of juicy flesh on the bones, yet this release is mouthwatering and tense with nicely sappy fruits melding with polished Mercury tannins and well-pitched freshness. With plenty in the tank, it’s already showing lots of promise.

Description

About Domaine Theulot Juillot Wines

Created at the beginning of the century by Marguerite and Émile Juillot, Domaine Theulot-Juillot is a family estate than now spans 12 hectares, implanted in the commune of Mercurey.

From this terroir they craft a palette of six Premier Crus, and a range of superb Mercurey wines, in both red and white.

Although it was Emile Juillot who founded the Domaine and developed its terroirs, it was finally his wife who passed the estate on to her granddaughter, Nathalie, in 1987.

This type of transmission from woman to woman is quite rare, exceptional even, and is one of the Domaine’s particularities that is a source of immense pride. Today the estate is managed by Nathalie Theulot with the support of her husband.

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
