Tupinier Bautista laver rød Bourgogne så man hører englene synge hvor alt er lavet i symbiose mellem bonde og natur. Det er vine med masser af kraft, finesse og karakter.
Manu Bautista tog over fra sin far i 1997 og er i dag alm anderkendt for at være blandt områdets 3 bedste producenter.
Huset Vielles Vignes kommer fra ca 60år gamle stokke og smager med sin fede, bløde frugt allerede forbandet lækkert. I duften er der noter af skovbær, jordbær, peber, mineraler og velintegreret fad. Smagen følger i samme spor og til små 200kr vover vi den påstand at bedre Bourgogne skal du lede længe efter. Desværre er mængderne små.
“Tupinier-Bautista has long been one of my favourite Côte Chalonnaise producers based down in Mercurey. “Manu” Bautista took over from his father Jacques Tupinier in 1997 and ratcheted up the quality across the Domaine’s 10 hectares of vine. With a brand new modern winery built in 2016, there is no doubt that Tupinier-Bautista will continue producing some of the finest Mercurey wines. There is an attention to detail here that sets them apart from other producers and, contrary to Manu’s ursine appearance (he looks like the kind of guy you wouldn’t want to pick a fight with), the wines are intense and built to last, yet are often more graceful and broad-shouldered than their peers. Along with Domaine François Raquillet, this Domaine demonstrates that Mercurey can produce excellent, well-priced wines.” Vinous
