Château de Chamirey

Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Ruelles Monopole 2018

This broad-ranging nose is very ripe though not roasted or jammy with its cassis, black cherry, raspberry, spice and earth scents. The highly seductive velvet-texture flavors possess better depth on the rustic, powerful and serious finish. This mildly warm effort should reward extended cellaring.

Outstanding Top value

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.
