The 2020 Mercurey Vielles Vignes taken from tank and racked has a pretty black cherry and raspberry coulis scented bouquet. Fine definition. The palate is medium bodied with chewy tannins straightforward a little rigid on the finish but I like the bitter twist here. Drink over the next four to five years.

This Côte Chalonnaise village takes its name from the God Mercury (God of trade). Mercurey is intersected by the Agrippa road which linked Chalon-sur-Saône to Autun in the Roman era. The wines of Mercurey have given this village its reputation throughout the world. Mercurey is one of the largest wine regions in Bourgogne with over 600 ha of vignes.
"Vieilles Vignes" (old vines) are over thirty years old and produce an exceptionally aromatic wine that offers a true reflection of its Mercurey terroirs.
The palate reveals a smooth, fruity attack and evolves towards notes of ripe red berries and a touch of vanilla. An intensely aromatic wine with a delicate structure and silky smooth tannins that will win over wine experts and amateurs alike. Serve with Roast duck with porcini mushrooms, mature cheeses. Cellaring Potential 4 to 8 years.
