BOULANGER Mercurey, Domaine Gênot Boulanger 2005
Grape Varieties
100% Pinot Noir

Food Matching Note:
An interesting combination with Cajun shrimp tacos with tomatillo salsa, or a more conservative pork medallions with mustard cream sauce or hibiscus-marinated leg of lamb.

Tasting Note:
Pale garnet in colour, with a wonderfully pure strawberry nose with hints of oak. The palate retains that purity of fruit character and elegance and lightness of touch. The finish is elegant and expressive.

Vinification Note:
The vineyards consist of clay, chalk and stony soils. The total vineyard area is 2.95 Ha. The harvest is entirely manual, with the grapes being sorted and destalked prior to being pressed with a pneumatic press. The fermentation period was temperature controlled and long. The wine was matured in oak barriques for 8-10 months.
