2016 Mercurey rouge En Boussoy, Domaine Patrick Guillot

“The flavour of this amazing wine whisked me back to my very first faltering footsteps in Burgundy over 30 years ago. En Boussoy tastes like a Pinot Noir lost in time and I love it. Nostalgic flavours of rustic, heart-warming, jug-wine Pinot Noir from ‘outback’ Burgundy flooded through my taste memory when HH&C MD Jim Eustace poured me this wine. It is chewy, densely packed with wild cherry fruit and energetically refreshing on the palate. It made me yearn to drink this style of wine more often, as opposed to the heavily polished and ‘professional’ wines which we see too many of today.” – Matthew Jukes
