2023 Chanzy Mercurey Blanc Clos Les Bussieres Monopole

Maison Chanzy is a highly respected Burgundian producer: their wines are a classical demonstration of premium vineyard sites in Côte Chalonnaise, Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Mercurey vineyards are located on marl Limestone soils from the Upper and Middle Jurassic geological formations, with a predominance of the latter. After slow and gentle pressing, this wine is fermented and matured in 228l barrels for 15 to 16 months followed by one year of ageing in stainless steel vat.

Tasting Note:  A fine nose of energetic and ripe citrus with almost a ginger-spice component. Round, easy in the mouth but again there is that ginger spice. Not your typical white Mercury but beautiful none the less.

Food match: Grilled fish or in sauce, cooked seafood, Asian cuisine and hard cheeses.
