BURGUNDY

Unfurling in the glass with scents of rose petals, black tea, wild berries, exotic spices, violets, it's full-bodied, with a broad attack that segues into a weightless but pungently intense mid-palate defined by striking energy and precision. Monumental!

Vaillons is a bit more powerful and structured, but Dauvissat's classic take has plenty of saline minerals and crisp acidity too. Soft touch of oak here buttresses the structure. Profound, and built to age.

The elegant nose exudes fruity and floral notes. The palate of this Mercurey offers a harmonious structure and leaves a pleasant sensation of freshness. An easy drinking wine that is ideal served either as an aperitif or with a meal.
