Chanzy Mercurey Rouge 1er Cru 'Clos Voyens' 2021

One of the first Premier Crus to be designated as such in 1943, ‘Clos Voyens’ is a 1ha south-west facing vineyard at the top of a hill that borders a small wood. Around 40-50% whole bunch fermentation this year and to great effect. A perfumed nose, with notes of wet stone. The perfect balance of sweet mulberry, red cherry and strawberry fruit, with some herbal (Eucalyptus and Pine) undertones, and a lovely lifted finish. This is beautifully balanced and delicious, and will be even more so in 5 - 8 years’ time.
