Domaine Charton Mercurey Vieilles Vignes is a sublime French Red Burgundy wine crafted from old vines. It charmingly combines richly nuanced aromas of red and black berries with a subtle touch of toasted oak. On the palate, it gracefully communicates a velvety texture with layered complexity, putting forth hints of ripe red cherries and dark plums, coupled with a light taste of spices. It's elegantly structured, highlighting an impressively balanced acidity and tannins that unfold into a lingering finish. This wine is an excellent reflection of the vineyard's traditional winemaking methods coupled with distinct terroir characteristics.

Tasting Notes

This wine with its deep garnet red colour with black gleams offers a nose of black fruit and spice. The tannins are soft and the aromas in a register of cooked red fruit. Can be consumed now in the splendour of its fruit, or in one or two years for even greater harmony
