Domaine de Suremain – La Bondue 2018 – Mercurey 1er Cru

The nose is fruity and offers freshness, a small power as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of small wild red fruits, crunchy blackberry, small notes of grey pepper associated with fine touches of racy minerality as well as hints of liquorice stick, nutmeg and fresh flowers. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, gourmandize, roundness as well as a fine aerial side and a beautiful suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy cherry, bright plum, small notes of small crushed red berries associated with small touches of blackberry, lily, lilac, nutmeg, a racy minerality as well as discreet hints of liquorice stick and an imperceptible hint of fresh vanilla. Good length. Tannins are elegant, fine and very finely firm. A subtle hint of chocolate on the finish/persistence.
