Showing more complexity and depth than Faiveley’s village Mercurey, this wine validates the French system of vineyard classification. It delivers more minerality and earthiness, imparting a seductive savory aspect to its charming dark fruit notes. Tannins are remarkably velvety, making it also a good choice for current consumption.
