2022 Domaine Charton Mercurey Vieilles Vignes AOC Mercurey, France
Welcome to my world of delicious, go-to, reasonably priced red Burgundies 💫
Vincent & Jean Pierre and the Charton Family has owned this 21 acre Domaine since 1940 and they are recognized as one of the most reputable Mercurey Producers. Vincent, 3rd generation was nominated in the top 10 best young Winemakers of Burgundy in 2010. No surprise here, these wines are EPIC. Baby brother to the Mercury 1er Cru that I carry from the same producer (and member of the August Wine Club), let this be your new everyday Burg. This wine with its deep garnet red color with black gleams offers a nose of black fruit and spice. The tannins are soft and the aromas in a register of cooked red fruit. Can be consumed now in the splendour of its fruit, or in one or two years for even greater harmony.
