Domaine Bruno Lorenzon
Mercurey’s large wine production can sometimes produce disappointingly rustic reds and rather non-descript whites. Bruno Lorenzon’s wines are as far from this profile as possible. The wines are expensive, true enough, but once tasted one can forget about both the appellation and the price! These meticulously crafted wines offer, quite simply, some of the most satisfying and delicious Burgundy to be found. We currently list the domaine’s red 2014s which need a few more years in bottle to round out to their full potential, but the Lorenzon experience can be enjoyed now with his white premier cru Clos des Barraults 2014, a remarkably fine, complex Chardonnay with focus and drive and elegance.
