Bordering Les Combins to the west, Les Champs Martins has historically been considered one of Mercurey’s finest vineyards. All the village’s top growers are represented here, and Theulot Juillot exploits two parcels of mature vines where the slope faces due south. Jasper Morris notes that the “reddish soil has a plethora of small white stones, giving rounded wines of some elegance.” We can only speak from limited tasting experience, but, except the 1er Cru La Cailloute, this terroir has delivered the domaine’s most refined wine in 2021.

Overall, it’s a balanced, succulent and finely spiced red Burgundy laced with small red fruits, latticed texture and a long, salty-spicy finish. Give it another year for the classy oak to integrate further, and it will provide fine drinking for up to a decade.

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.
