Château de Chamirey

Mercurey 1er cru Champs Martin 2017

Sweet spot Outstanding

A deft application of wood frames overtly floral aromas of earth, plum and dark berry liqueur. The mouth feel of the medium weight flavors is sleeker and slightly more energetic as well, all wrapped in a moderately firm, serious and youthfully austere finale. This is really quite good but note that this too is going to require at least a few years of forbearance.

À propos de Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
