Les Héritiers Saint-Genys
Clos Marcilly Mercurey 1er Cru Chardonnay
Mercurey, Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, France
Popped and poured and it’s nice right out of the gate. Nose has lots of wet straw-inflected earthiness, and almost Chablis-like brothy note, a vague whiff of toasted barrels, and some pear skin fruit. Lots of earth, crushed stone, and apple-pear fruit on the palate. Medium acids, and a weighty, lengthy finish with a dark, bitterish note that grows (in a nice way). Lots of character.

Somewhere between Chablis and Montrachet. Enough oak and goes well with shellfish and fish. Quite oruginal.
