2019 Chateau de Mercey Maranges 1er Cru Les Clos Roussots
2019 Chateau de Mercey Maranges 1er Cru Les Clos Roussots Good colour and big aromas. The palate has good attack moving to a soft mid-palate. Good depth and weight, and ripe tannins. Very persistent.
Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”
Some of the greatest – and most expensive – wines of the world come from Burgundy, a region so renowned that its climats (smaller areas with distinctive geological and climatic features) https://hillsidevineyards.com/category/burgundy/have become UNESCO World Heritage sites.From a refund petition sent from the people of Autun to the Roman emperor Constantine in 312 A.D., we know that wine production in the area dates back at least 23 centuries.For such a small area (it’s a 138-mile trip from Lyon to Dijon, and only 87 more from Dijon to Chablis), the region boasts an astonishing variety of terroirs and produces recognizable wines with full personalities, mainly from two grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
