Maison Chanzy 'Clos Voyens' Mercurey 1er Cru 2019

This Premier Cru Mercurey from Clos Voyens is an absolute stunner with years and years ahead of it. Intense aromas are sure to astound you here, and while pinot can often be subtle and subdued, rest assured that this drop will show you anything but. Macerated strawberries mingle with raspberry licorice, crushed rocks and a gentle vanilla sweetness. There’s a fantastic miso-like umami quality that feels so fitting to boost the strength and longevity of this wine in each sip. The palate is full (for an Old World pinot, that is) but with fine grain tannins and an effortless elegance. Be sure to save some of that 6-pack, because you’re going to want to lie some of this down in the cellar (or, wherever you keep your vino).
