Domaine Meix-Foulot - Mercurey 1er Cru - Monopole

Presentation of the Domaine Meix-Foulot Clos du Château de Montaigu Mercurey 1er Cru

Fancy an elegant and fine Burgundy? Taste the Mercurey ^1er Cru Monopole from Domaine Meix-Foulot, Château de Montaigu . On the nose, it has intense aromas of wild berries and blackcurrant; on the palate, we will find peppery notes accompanying this fruitiness. Young, we will appreciate its elegant attack with a finish that never ends; more mature we will enjoy its complexity of aromas (fruit, pepper, chocolate) supported by a very present power. This clos surrounded by a wall at the foot of the ruins of the Château de Montaigu, is located under the windows of the Domaine du Meix Foulot. It spreads out under the rays of the sun all day long despite its exposure to the Saône plain. The complexity of the terroir on these 1.9 ha is reflected in the wine: at the same time tender, elegant but also structured and powerful. Young, open it an hour before serving, older (5-10 years) do not hesitate to decant it: after the first nose has dissipated, you will find all the fruit.

HISTORY OF THE DOMAIN
