N.b. Unfortunately this is now sold out, but please do consider choosing a mixed case with the similarly impressive 2012 SAVIGNY LES BEAUNE Dessus les Vermots Domaine de la Douaix instead.
From cask this is astonishingly chunky and fat. The fruit here is from old vines planted in the 60's by Granpa Jacqueson. Juice and savour. Marie tells of lots of millerandage in the vintage and high natural sugars in the resulting tiny berries. Powerful, intense and delicious Pinot Noir. Drinking range: 2017 - 2024 Rating: 93 L&S (Jan 2014)

How many times have you heard wine lovers say they like red Burgundy, but unless you spend a small fortune, too often it ends up being lean and mean with no body? In response, I say: please try this premier cru Mercurey. Helped by its 50-year-old vines, it’s hard to distinguish from its Côte d’Or neighbours to the north – and it is made by Marie Jacqueson, who was recently named Young Winemaker of the Year at the Hospices de Beaune. Ready to drink, it has exceptional depth and power, which makes it ideal with any main course, including turkey or goose for Christmas.Bruce Palling, The Week (Dec 2016)
P & M Jacqueson
The domaine was founded in 1946 by Henri Jacqueson and passed to his son Paul. Marie joined her father in 2006 and since 2015 she and her brother Pierre run the estate, now known simply as P&M Jacqueson. The domaine consists of 18 hectares of vines, mostly in Rully, but also 5 in Mercurey and some in Bouzeron. The team also tend vines owned by their neighbours and make some beautiful wines from other peoples' fruit that they themselves have worked all year.
Traditional methods meticulously applied inspire everything they do: the grapes are harvested by hand and vinified in classical fashion, before an élevage in barrel (up to 25% new wood for the reds, just 20% for the 1er Cru Whites). The domaine has become adept at a sophisticated use of barrels, the élevage here is key to the quality they consistently achieve.

Dark expressive thick fruit and a fine firm richness - could do with a year or two in bottle to show it's best - even if in Beaune it would already be on the restaurant tables.
