Louis Latour Mercurey

Second bottle of the three I bought. I've realized I love Burgandies so this may be quite biased review. On the nose is a dark red fruit explosion. The taste is still a lot of good acid and sweet cherry. It's a very drinkable wine that may not have a ton of ageability or longevity.

Surprisingly juicy and fruit forward, though subtle. Enjoyed it with small homemade pizzas.

nose jumped out as coravined with that classic Burgundian dusty woody red fruit. almost effervescent which was a surprise. mouthwatering acidity. cherry, cassis, cedar, hint of forest floor and summer bramble. not overly complex or age worthy but delicious wine

Aroma: ripe red cherry (not sour or dark) with raspberry mixed with floral and with white pepper somewhere in the background. Palatte: Bright acidity balanced with rose petals and notes of roasted cocoa and tobacco on the back. Enjoyed on it's own and with Coq au vin.

Ruby color with some garnet. Smell of tart cherry. Taste of red fruit, some mineral. Nice balance of fruit and acid, medium tannin.

Red Burgundy. Tasted with Mandarin Orange Chicken, and paired well. Light and translucent ruby-garnet. Fresh fruit aroma, dark cherries. Very easy-drinking, low alcohol, fresh, smooth. No sign of oak. Nice, medium finish. Drinkable is the main impression.

Decanted 2 hours. Upon decanting beautiful full cherry aroma. Flavor of soft lead pencil, tender plums & rich cherries. Good healthy legs. Balanced soft light acidity & oak on the finish. Went well with chicken & mushroom Risotto.

The color is fairly transparent light garnet with a hint of purple. On the nose the wine is fresh red cherries, freshly cut grass. It smells young and vibrant. There is a minerality there too; an old world character. A very nice nose, albeit not super complex. On the palate the mouthfeel has the lightness and finesse of red Burgundy; medium mourhfeel; medium acidity. Very pleasant but not complex. Some minerality and some fruit. Not too much of a finish. …

Mid-to-full bodied and firmly structured, with cherries, strawberries, and spices wrapped around approachable tannins. It's crisp, fruity, and develops an earthy, wood spice nuance. Delicious.
