Mercurey Les Vignes Blanches Red 2018,
Frédéric Cossard
Frédéric Cossard has created a superb expression of Mercurey, an emblematic appellation of the Côte Chalonnaise. Les Vignes Blanches 2018, made from Pinot Noir grown on clay-limestone soils, offers an intense and elegant interpretation of this Burgundian terroir. A natural, full-bodied, and ample wine that brilliantly combines power and finesse.
A sunny vintage and gentle vinification
2018 was a generous year in Burgundy, with ideal conditions for perfectly ripe grapes. True to his philosophy of zero-additive vinification, Frédéric Cossard uses whole-bunch maceration, thus preserving all the aromatic purity of the fruit. Aging takes place for one year in a concrete egg, promoting subtle micro-oxygenation and harmonious development of aromas without excessive wood degradation.
A tasting marked by depth and finesse
Les Vignes Blanches 2018 reveals a captivating nose where aromas of morello cherries, ripe black fruits and fine roasted notes. The palate is dense, with a full attack and a beautiful sap that gives it depth. The tannins are present but very fine, offering a beautiful length and a remarkable balance between structure and freshness. Food pairings and tasting moments This Mercurey is a gastronomic wine, perfect for roasted and grilled meats, roast duck, or a beautiful grilled rib-eye steak. It will also be a perfect accompaniment to a beef fillet in a crust or game birds. Served between 16 and 18°C, it can be enjoyed now for its vibrant fruit or aged for a few years to develop more complex notes.
