 Mercury 1er Cru 2004 Les Veleys
In the heart of Burgundy, rests Mercurey in the Côte Chalonnaise between the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais. Here the soil is very similar to the prized Côte d'Or but alas most vineyards lack the slopes that make Côte d'Or terroir capable of deeper, riper harvests. Raquillet is unique in this regard because it is fortunate to possess the slopes that lend serious color, ripe structure, and compelling depth. Les Veleys is premier cru for this reason. Coupled with great viticulture, this 55 year old vineyard yields powerful, rustic, and fetching Pinot Noirs that reach their peak between 5 and 10 years. At six years on this has come comfortably and confidently into its own, promising many years of further development. Mercurey is already on many a Burgundiphiles radar as a source of delicious value. Make it premier cru Raquillet and the merely curious feel like exploring what makes Bourgogne this mecca for wine lovers around the world.
