Tupinier-Bautista Mercurey Premier Cru Les Vellées 2022 – Mercurey Premier Cru

The wine has a pale ruby ​​color. The nose is concentrated, gourmand, juicy and offers a beautiful fruity material that is a little sweet, even textured. It expresses notes of juicy morello cherry, red cherry, wild strawberry, redcurrant jelly and crushed raspberry, associated with slightly sweet floral aromas (peony, iris), sweet spices (a hint of vanilla, liquorice, nutmeg), toasted hazelnut and aromatic herbs (dried mint, fresh thyme in the background). The palate is juicy, enveloping and airy, with a good bitterness of cranberries and bird cherry and firm and gripping tannins (even slightly grainy). It expresses the flavors of morello cherry, sour red cherry, raspberry, red plum and sour strawberry, combined with herbal touches of peppermint, blackcurrant bud (in the background), liquorice and coffee. Good persistence in the mouth, with a salivating acidity and a beautiful freshness and a gourmet hint of dark chocolate with mint. The wine seems closed at the moment.
