Les Heritiers Saint-Genys 'Clos Marcilly Monopole' Mercurey 1er Cru CUVEE HERMINE 2020Critical acclaim: "95 points. Generous yet subtle nose of many citrus fruits and crisp pears. A very focused and mineral Mercury, but only medium bodied. Very long, refined and chalky finish with so much lemony freshness. This is one of the 3 original 1er Cru of Mercury. From grapes that were sustainably grown, with no use of herbicides. Drink or hold." James Suckling

When finished fermenting

Bold and pleasing aromas of yellow pear shine

It’s the prancy

only 50% of the grapes went into the Grand Vin in 2018

The palate is supple

Packed blackberry fruits

the name and the size of its vineyard holdings leads me to believe that it is a blend from their single vineyard (and mostly Grand Cru) vineyard sites from the hill side of Ammerschwir

and lively

I can’t imagine Grandma Myers and Robert Parker agreeing
