A wonderful find in the cellar

Seen on Twitter

The taster and journalist at Le Point Jacques Dupont made a very nice find in his cellar: a 1993 Corton Perrières from Domaine Michel Juillot. And obviously, he feasted. It is understandable …

Found at the bottom of the cellar Corton Perrière 93 Michel Juillot. Still very dense, deep aromas, earthy, melted tannins, treat.

New logo and new labels

admin_juillot — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 15:37:24 +0000

After 2 years of work, research, tests and numerous exchanges with the different contributors, the Juillot family is proud to present you its new labels and its new logo.

For the occasion, we realized this video tracing the different stages of this major change within the domain. A result that we are glad to share with you.

The word of the graphic designer:

“The new logo of the Domaine Michel Juillot is the result of a work of graphic variation around the old visual, whose shift towards modernity is still focused on preserving the legacy of its identity.
It seemed essential to preserve the initial structure while simplifying the elements that compose it.
The graphic design of the central helmet and its feathers, thus refined, emphasizes its flexibility and elegance, while the cross formed by the stylized flags brings balance and sobriety to the whole.
Naturally, in order to transcribe the filiation of the Juillot family in the history of the winery, the new logo reveals, in the fluidity of the flags, the initials of Laurent Juillot.”

We are waiting for you on the different fairs where we are present, as well as in our cellar to discover these new labels and new vintages.

Decanter – February 2017

admin_juillot — Wed, 17 May 2017 09:56:58 +0000

The Decanter magazine has rated the vintage 2015. William Kelley has given wonderful marks and comments to our new vintage. We thank him a lot and let you discover the next cuvee to taste.

Corton Perrières Grand Cru	Red	94	2027	2070	The lone red Grand Cru in the Juillot cellars is also excellent this year, and sure to be a great bargain. Aromas of red cherry, cassis, iron-like soil tones and coniferous forest floor precede a powerful, full-bodied wine with great depth, concentration and balance. A mere 30% new oak really lets the terroir shine.
Mercurey 1er Cru Clos du Roi	Red	93	2025	2040	From a parcel planted in 1932, the domaine’s smallest holding, Juillot typically bottles this exceptional wine exclusively in magnum. A refined, complex bouquet of wild berries, rich soil and incipient notes of roast squab precedes a supple, deep, full-bodied wine with a lovely chassis of fine tannin which will come into its own after a decade in the cellar. A smart purchase in 2015.
Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Barraults	Red	92	2023	2040	The most taut and reserved of Juillot’s 1er crus, notes of red berries, cherry and chalky soil tones, subtly framed by new wood, lead into an elegant wine with a deceptively deep core of minerality and crunchy tannins.
Mercurey 1er Cru Les Combins	Red	91	2020	2033	The Les Combins bottling, is especially delicious this year, loaded with expressive and juicy red cherry and strawberry fruit, complemented by subtle spice, with an ample, generous palate impression.
Mercurey 1er Cru Champs Martins	Red	91	2022	2035	The Champs Martins is also lovely in 2015, with a bouquet of black raspberry and licorice, marked a little more by its elevage at this stage (30% new oak), and framed by rich, ripe tannins.
Mercurey 1er Cru Clos Tonnerre	Red	90	2020	2033	The Clos Tonnerre, from vines planted in 1958, is richer and more gourmand than the village bottlings, structured around fine, savoury tannins and boasting a bouquet of griotte cherry, kirsch and forest floor.
Mercurey Les Vignes de Maillonge	Red	88	2018	2026	Another juicy village Mercurey, bursting with notes of dark fruit, chalky soil and subtle espresso, with more depth and tension on the fine, mid-weight palate.
Mercurey	Red	87	2017	2025	A lovely Mercurey, bursting with notes of red cherry, rose and chalky soil tones; crisp, crunchy and laden with juicy red fruit on the palate. Approachable young with a quick decant.
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru	White	93	2020	2040	The Juillot Corton-Charlemagne hails from a parcel adjacent to Domaine Coche-Dury’s, within the original boundaries of the grand cru classification before it was expanded. It’s aged in 50% new oak and produced three-and-a-half barrels in this vintage. The 2015 is a powerful rendition, with a nose of lemon zest, peach, white flowers, hazelnut and a framing of spicy new oak, followed on the palate by a full-bodied, intense wine with bright acidity and a long, authoritative finish. A rich, rather old-fashioned Corton-Charlemagne, but none the worse for that.
Mercurey 1er Cru Champs Martin	White	90	2018	2028	The vines in Champs Martin produced lots of tiny, shot berries this year, and the extra concentration has lent this wine a lovely, velouté texture and beautiful depth on the palate—introduced by a bouquet of ripe orchard fruit, mirabelle plum and wet stones.
Mercurey 1er Cru En Sazenay	White	89	2016	2025	En Sazenay is crisper and brighter still, with an elegant nose of citrus zest, white peach and orange blossom, leading into a refined, gently textural palate impression with nice minerality and cut.
Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Barraults	White	89	2017	2027	The Clos de Barraults is more reserved and harder to read at this early stage, but it reveals more depth and amplitude on the palate, and a complex bouquet in which buttered apple mingles with notes of wheat toast and subtle spice.
Mercurey Les Vignes de Maillonge	White	88	2016	2022	The Vignes de Maillonge is more serious, with a pure bouquet of grapefruit and mirabelle plum, followed by a wine with a generous, ample attack but nice soil-driven tension through the finish.
Rully	White	87	2016	2020	A delicious, expressive Rully, dominated by notes of white flowers and grapefruit; juicy and fresh, to drink in its youth. Vinified and aged in demi-muids as well as fûts to preserve its energy.
Mercurey	White	87	2016	2020	The basic Mercurey is more gourmand and ample than the Rully, with a glossy, textural palate impression and aromas of ripe stone fruit.

GUIDE DES VINS BETTANE + DESSEAUVE 2017

THE DOMAINE: Laurent Juillot and his wife manage this 31-hectare estate in Mercurey and Corton with passion and a lot of pleasure, in a respectful approach to the environment. For the sustainability of its estate and its vegetal heritage, the vineyards are maintained and replanted with massive selections since it has in nurseries a collection of 30 years-old mother vines. On the technical side, from the harvest to the vats there is no pumping, the grapes are pulled to the vine and then destemmed, the whole logs are vinified in square open vats, with little punching and pumping over.

THE WINES: 2014 gives here precise wines that deserve a little aging. A substantive work on maturing is engaged.

FAVORITE: Mercurey Rouge 1^er Cru “Les Champs Martins” 2014

The most accessible of the premier crus, the fruit is crisp, peppery, it has shine. The finish is extended by a few smoky notes.

GUIDE HACHETTE 2017

Mercurey Rouge “les Vignes de Maillonge” 2013

Vines planted in 1958 and 1982 on the clayey-limestone soils of Mercurey were picked by hand and grapes vinified in oak barrels for sixteen months. In the glass, a 2013 already harmonious, opened on notes of compote red fruits, to which are added very fine woody nuances. The palate is very well constructed, all in balance, in suppleness and roundness, with a long and gourmand finish.

Mercurey Blanc “Les Vignes de Maillonge” 2014

A wine appreciated for its aromatic expression (citrus, mineral touch, viennoiserie), its elegance and its balance in the mouth between a fine woody and a pleasant freshness.

GAULT & MILLAU 2017

Mercurey Blanc “Les Vignes de Maillonge” 2014: The wine develops fat and finesse. A very elegant cuvée with beautiful aromas of white fruits.
Rully Blanc “Les Thivaux” 2014: Fine and expressive, the wine plays in the register of minerality even if it is adorned with a nice fat.
Mercurey Rouge 1^er Cru “Clos des Barraults” 2013: A wine in balance, ready to drink today, and which spares freshness and concentration around fine notes of red fruits.
Mercurey Rouge 1^er Cru “Clos Tonnerre” 2013: The wine surprises by its astringency in the mouth. Still on the reserve, it appears concentrated and sustained by beautiful aromas of red fruits.
Mercurey Rouge 1^er Cru “Les Combins” 2013: Very gourmand, a wine already ready to drink, which plays on concentration and elegance around notes of blackcurrant and raspberries.
Mercurey Rouge “Les Vignes de Maillonge” 2014: It develops a beautiful complexity focused on minerality. A red that expresses itself on the freshness around pretty aromas of small red berries.

GUIDE DES VINS BETTANE + DESSEAUVE 2016

THE WINES A fine finesse on the 2013 vintage, the style of the estate has gained in elegance. A real progress to follow closely.

FAVORITE: Mercurey Rouge 1^er Cru “Les Champs Martins” 2013

Floral and red roses notes, very long, it has a beautiful remanence and power. Very ripe and peppery, ample, it is greedy and serious.
