Pièce 13
Lorenzon
This 'Pièce 13' from Lorenzon, hailing from the 2018 vintage in Mercurey, tells a story of classic Burgundian craftsmanship with a touch of modern precision. The name 'Pièce' refers to the traditional 228-liter barrel used for aging in Burgundy, suggesting a wine that has seen thoughtful maturation in oak, integrating its fruit and savory elements gracefully. The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was generally warm and generous, yielding wines with ripe fruit but often retaining good acidity, which bodes well for a Mercurey Pinot Noir. Lorenzon, as a producer, likely focuses on expressing the authentic character of this often-underestimated appellation. This wine embodies the charming, approachable, yet complex nature of Mercurey Pinot Noir – a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth for its vibrant fruit, but also promises to evolve with a few years in the cellar, revealing deeper earthy and savory nuances.

"A female jazz vocalist playlist for an intimate French countryside jazz club at midnight. blending Melody Gardot's smoky allure with Nina Simone's soul. The medium body calls for warm, rounded vocals with a classic jazz trio — piano, bass, and drums. The rhythm should be a natural, easy swing to match the medium-soft tannins. The energy is electric and vivid, with sharp clarity and snap, reflecting the high acidity. The tasting notes of red cherry, raspberry, forest floor, cranberry, sour cherry translate to warm, nostalgic melodies, complex, layered instrumentation, crystalline, precise piano, woody, acoustic guitar undertones. A gentle mid-tempo pace, 80-100 BPM."
