Description
The Mercurey signed by Labouré-Roi is a balanced and aromatic Pinot Noir, originating from the northern part of the Côte Chalonnaise. The appellation covers 650 hectares, 545 of which are dedicated to reds, developing on diverse soils between 230 and 320 meters of altitude, with marls, Jurassic limestones, and red clays.
After manual harvesting, the grapes are completely destemmed. Maceration and fermentation occur at controlled temperature for 18-20 days, with two pump-overs and two punch-downs per day. Aging takes place in barrels, 20% of which are new, for about 12 months.
The color is intense ruby red. The nose reveals notes of red fruits accompanied by toasted and grilled hints. The palate unveils soft and silky tannins, a good structure, and an elegant balance between fruit and spices.
Perfect with roasted or grilled meats, delicate game in sauce, and most cheeses.
