The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A revelation from the Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine Tupinier-Bautista excels with a quiet distinction, recognized by its entry into the RVF guide. With 11 hectares in Mercurey, Manu Bautista crafts deep wines of rare balance, featuring fruit of great concentration and purity. This winemaker stands out for his precise decisions on ripeness and aging, delivering the full expression of his village and premier cru terroirs.
Wine The 2022 white La Garenne Burgundy presents a well-ripened nose, with logically present woodiness at this youthful stage, complemented by a notably smoky touch. On the palate, this aging profile beautifully encapsulates the wine, providing depth; the structure is solid, concentrated, and fresh. Ideally, it would be best to wait 6 months to a year before fully enjoying it. Rated 92/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Hand-harvested, aged in barrels for 10 months (new, one-wine and two-wine barrels).
