The delicate ruby color of this impeccably aged Mercurey is impressive. The wine follows through with aromas and flavors suggesting delicate fraises-de-bois (wild strawberries), hints of cherry, and Burgundy’s characteristic earthiness. Still fresh, elegant and smooth on the palate, this succulent wine might be served with a beautifully roasted leg of lamb, or perhaps an elegant black bean and lentil stew.
