Louis Latour Mercurey Cote Chalonnaise Rouge

Description

The name of Mercurey and its reputation as a viticultural commune date from the period when the Roman legions erected a temple there to Mercury, their God of Commerce and Trade amongst other things. As regards the character of the wine, Mercurey possesses an individual appeal despite obvious parralels with the Côte de Beaune. Typically, it has a penetrating, earthy fruitiness allied to an ample backbone with plenty of grip on the palate.

Tasting Note

Of a deep silky garnet hue, our Mercurey 2019 displays a lovely nose with raspberry notes. On the palate, it is wide and round with cherry, liquorice and spices aromas. A lively and powerful wine.
