Charles Curtis, (Vintage 2019)

Shows the breed and class of a wine from the Cote d'Or, this is from a 6.31ha monopole in Mercurey, on east-facing slopes near the northern edge of the village. The colour is surprisingly saturated and the nose displays a forward, perfumed plummy fruit to accompany the silky texture, and supple tannic structure. Partial whole cluster fermentation and then ageing in cask for 15 months in cask, 30% new.
