2020 Château de Chamirey Mercurey 1er Cru Clos du Roi Rouge, Burgundy

The domaine has nearly a half-hectare here planted in clay soils at mid-slope, exposed directly south. After a cold soak and fairly aggressive extraction, the wine is aged in cask (30% new) for 15 months. There are pronounced aromas of dark plum with an earthy vein and hints of leather and spice. The texture is tannic and very firm, with lots of concentration. This should open well, but it needs some time.

92 points Charles Curtis MW decanter.com

Deep and velvety red colour. Intense nose showing ripe small red berries (raspberries, blueberries) along with a totally integrated oakieness. Great intensity in the mouth, balanced with freshness. The finish is long with a salty touch.
