The palate is fat and tonic

A dry climate and proximity to the Andes produce wide day/night temperature swings

and also makes extensive use of concrete and used foudres to age his wine

youth and maturity

Seguin-Manuel Mercurey Vieilles Vignes 2016 sku_2180722 The palate is fat andPretty much exactly what Mercurey should be a ripe, mouthfilling, Pinot Noir with a slightly rustic charm and 3 5 years of cellar potential all at an affordable price. This is nicely ripe with dark, fleshy, Bing and pie cherry fruit and accents of crushed flowers, fresh earth, and spice. The year in used oak has rounded off the rough edges, but there's still a pleasing, hearty, grip and fine freshness on the fleshy finish. Roast a chicken and dig in.
