2022 Mercurey Vieilles Vignes

Description

The 2022 Mercurey Vieilles Vignes is a refined and elegant red wine from the Mercurey appellation, one of the most prestigious regions in Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy. Made from old vines, this wine showcases the depth, complexity, and rich character that the region is known for.

In the glass, it reveals a bright ruby color with subtle hints of garnet. The nose is expressive, offering aromas of ripe red fruit such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, alongside delicate floral notes and a touch of spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with smooth, velvety tannins and balanced acidity, giving it both freshness and structure. The flavors of red fruit are complemented by hints of earth, subtle oak, and a touch of minerality, leading to a clean, lingering finish.

The 2022 vintage benefits from the deep root systems of the Vieilles Vignes (old vines), which impart more concentrated flavors and greater complexity. With an alcohol content of 13%, this wine is perfect for pairing with a range of dishes, including roasted meats, poultry, grilled vegetables, and soft cheeses.
