Tupinier Bautista Bourgogne Blanc ‘La Garenne” is a wonderful example of how good Bourgogne Blanc can be. There is a lovely warm richness to this wine with rich lemon fruit, orchard fruit and tropical fruit notes on the finish. Excellent mineral structure, depth and concentration. A relative bargain.
Manu Bautista farms this amazing 11 hectare Mercurey Domaine which is based in the small hamlet of Touches in Burgundy’s Cote Chalonnaise. He succeeded his step father in 1997 and the family can trace their vine growing roots back to 1770. The wines from the slopes of Mercurey, which is close to Givry and really an extension of the Cote de Beaune, offer fantastic value and really impress with their fruit and power in their youth. A new winery was built in 2016 and provides state of the art modern equipment mixed with traditional wine making techniques.
