Tupinier-Bautista Mercurey Premier Clos du Roy 2020 – Mercurey Premier Cru

The wine has a ruby ​​color of medium intensity. The nose is fruity and ripe, even with a slight maceration and roasted fruit side. It expresses notes of juicy morello cherry, fresh raspberry, strawberry, red cherry and red currant, black plum (after aeration), as well as a touch of goji berries in the background. We also find notes of roasting (toasted hazelnut, fresh almond), herbaceous freshness (fresh mint, a tangy hint of lemon thyme, fresh tobacco), sweet spices (fresh liquorice stick, Sichuan pepper, crushed coriander seeds, nutmeg), as well as a hint of lily and a delicate minerality (dry stone, limestone). The palate offers accuracy, a fine concentration, as well as a silky and juicy fruitiness, associated with a lively acidity. It expresses notes of sour red cherry, bitterness of bird cherry, dried cranberries, a hint of morello cherry, tangy strawberry and red currant. We also find the herbaceous side – dried mint, fresh tobacco, lemon thyme, rosemary, notes of sweet spices (licorice in the background, white pepper, crushed coriander seeds), as well as fresh almond and toasted hazelnut. The finish is persistent, concentrated and gourmet, on notes of ripe morello cherry, dried red cherry and a lively acidity, associated with a good bitterness.
