Built in the 17th century, Château overlooks vineyards of Mercurey in Côte Chalonnaise. In 1934, Marquis de Jouennes, father-in-law of Bertrand Devillard and grand-father of Amaury and Aurore (present owners), produced his first bottle of red Mercurey. Soft red fruit nose with rustic spices. Cherry and raspberry, sweet herb spice, good balance. Smooth tannins, lingering ending with earthy mineral tones.

16.5/20 Средней интенсивности гранатовый. В аромате прелая листва, красное яблоко, джем из красных ягод. Средняя тел носить, высокая кислотность, интенсивные таннины. Во вкусе брусничное варенье, молочный шоколад.

The nose is there, showing lots of juniper, cedar and forrest floor, with pure currant/cranberry fruit. Sturdy tannins in the finish. Great potential.

A cherry bomb from the Cote Chalonnaise. Slightly heavy on the new oak treatment, but a juicy, crowd-pleasing Burgundy with notes of fresh earth and candied black cherry.

Cool, supple, aromatic. Firm fruit flavors and vanilla to open. Finishes with juniper berry and hinoki/woods. Never a sour note. Smooth in the mouth throughout, with fine structure over a long and dry finish. come to think of it, I have no visual reference of Burgundy as a scene/setting.... To me, this wine takes you to autumn in Kyoto spent with a French/Danish lover.

Aromas of smoked minerals, black cherries, raspberries, leather, tobacco, and earth. Unfolds over time to reveal roses. Beautiful brick red color. Strong black cherries on the palatte. Nice, albeit not spellbinding finish.
