Domaine Ninot – Les Velleys 2016 – Mercurey Premier Cru

The nose is fruity, gourmand, elegant, racy and offers concentration / richness. It reveals notes of blackberry, blueberry, flowers, wild strawberry and redcurrant combined with subtle touches of spices as well as a discreet hint of tea and an imperceptible hint of cardamom / toasted hint. The palate is fruity, mineral, well balanced, racy, well defined and offers a nice juiciness, a nice suavity, gourmandise, a slight unctuosity as well as finesse / elegance. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crushed blueberry, cherry and slight fleshy raspberry combined with a touch of ripe / fleshy redcurrant as well as subtle hints of violet and spices. Tannins are well-built and very slightly firm. Good length. (2020+)
