Château de Chamirey

Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Ruelles Monopole 2019

This is aromatically quite similar to the Clos l'Évêque except that the menthol character is a bit more prominent here. There is a lovely sense of vibrancy to the well-detailed and delicious middle weight flavors that aren't quite as concentrated though they are finer, all wrapped in a youthfully austere finale. This is really quite good and a wine that should reward up to a decade of bottle age.

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.
