Mercurey Vieilles Vignes Château de Santenay 2017 75cl

196117

Produced by a historic Burgundy estate, this "Vieilles Vignes" cuvée from Château de Santenay fully expresses the distinctive character and nobility of Pinot Noir in the Mercurey appellation. Selected by Le Delas for the depth of its structure and its maturity, this 2017 vintage offers a remarkable balance between the freshness of the fruit and the complexity imparted by the age of the vines, making it a solid choice for restaurant wine lists. Food pairings, serving and storage: ► Sensory experience: This wine has an intense ruby colour. On the nose, it reveals aromas of fleshy red fruits (cherry, raspberry) complemented by delicately spicy and earthy notes. On the palate, the tannins are silky and the concentration from the old vines provides a lovely lingering finish. ► Food and wine pairings: Its elegant structure makes it a perfect partner for refined regional cuisine. It pairs wonderfully with confit lamb shoulder, salted pork with lentils, or grilled red meats. It also pairs very well with mature hard cheeses such as Saint-Nectaire or Morbier. ► Serving: For optimal enjoyment, this Mercurey is best served between 14°C and 16°C. Decanting for 30 minutes before serving will allow the complex aromas of the 2017 vintage to fully unfold. ► Storage: This wine is currently at its peak drinking stage. For establishments wishing to store it in a wine cellar, keep the bottles lying down at a constant temperature and away from light to preserve the finesse of its bouquet.
