Mercurey, Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, France
More expensive every vintage and still worth it in my opinion. More about pleasure than complexity. Consistently delicious juice.

Sourced from 5 parcels spread throughout 95 acres. Vines date back as far as 1962 and soils are primarily clay and limestone. Dark Ruby color with aromas of red fruits and herb spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, ripe plum and raspberry with herb and pepper spice. Fine tannins, medium+ finish, well balanced, ending with fruit and earthy mineral character. Nice!

Dark Ruby with aromas of fresh red fruits and pleasant spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors emerge with peppery spice. Tannins were fine with a silky edge, well balanced, ending with a bit of minerality and nice length.

I took no notes but very good bottle in a more classical register, albeit less "clumsy" than in prior times. Good stuff and requires a few more years.

Should I just buy a case of this? I think so
