2017 Mercurey Rouge, 'Les Vignes de Maillonge', Domaine Michel Juillot, Côte Chalonnaise, France

2017 Mercurey Rouge Deep cherry red with a nose showing notes of raspberry, black cherry and spicy overtones from the subtle oak. Medium-bodied with a lovely intensity, the palate shows good acid balance and fine moderate tannins. Ready to drink, this will develop more gamey notes over the next 3-4 years.
