Tasting notes

Of a beautiful ruby colour, our Mercurey 2016 reveals a nose with peppery.

The mouth, rich and fresh, is characterized by silky tannins accompanying subtle notes of strawberry and pepper.

Description

The name of Mercurey and its reputation as a viticultural commune date from the period when the Roman legions erected a temple there to Mercury, their God of Commerce and Trade amongst other things. As regards the character of the wine, Mercurey possesses an individual appeal despite obvious parralels with the Côte de Beaune. Typically, it has a penetrating, earthy fruitiness allied to an ample backbone with plenty of grip on the palate.
