It expresses a very beautiful maturity despite a year not so bright. The note and palate are correlated to the nature of the soil in Mercurey Les Montots: Clay-limestone with iron presence. This gives to the wine a racy, chiselled nose with chalky notes of cooked red fruits. On the palate,the wine is astonishingly supple and silky on first approach whilst the tannins are more presentson the finish lengthening the tasting and leave a powerful impression. A great wine with ageing potential.
