Staff Pick Notes

It’s always exciting when you are tasting through Burgundies and come across a true gem. This wine surely is proof of that! Mercurey, an appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise (in the southern part of the Côte d’Or), can often be overlooked as a region in part due to its lack of Grand Cru Vineyards (it has none). However, some of these Premier Crus can be incredible wines delivering amazing value! The Clos des Barraults vineyard demonstrates this magic. A predominately southern exposure with a combination of clay and limestone soils mixed with distinctive marble pebbles, this vineyard develops deeply concentrated grapes delivering pure fruit flavors while retaining that mouthwatering limestone zip and freshness. It’s this interplay between depth and elegance that makes this wine so beautiful.
