Mineral, ripe, oak. Elegant, ripe and very pure. So clean and sleek. I love this. Ripe and fat but still lean. Just a great drop.

Oak and mineral. Very elegant and mineral. 12 months in 500 liter barrels. Beautiful integration of oak, mineral, freshness and acidity.

Wow! Very mineral and secondary nose with hay, gun powder, a bit of toasted bread too and some vanilla along with butter and lemon. This could be Meursault right there! Very nice palate with strong acids, a very wide palate with a very soft touch followed by some good grip. Lemony and buttery notes play their part too in this little joyful tune. The finish is all lemon and butter for a very long while. This is very good!

Very nice Mercurey. Great nose of peach and other stonefruits - surprising length. Great PQ wine. Recommended.
