Magnum Mercurey 1er Cru Rouge De Suremain Bondue 2017

Magnum of red wine Mercurey 1st cru La Bondue, Domaine De Suremain

Loic de Suremain comes from a long line of winemakers established at Château de Bourgneuf, on the edge of Mercurey. Passionate and skilled hunter, Loic is a man of the land who approaches his profession with all the necessary peasant common sense: a lot of work in the vineyard, a reasoned approach, all with the sole objective of harvesting healthy, ripe grapes in controlled quantities. The work in the winery is in continuity, with sorting and destemming of the grapes, maceration in wooden vats, temperature control, followed by careful aging in oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months, in the Domain's cellars. The wines reflect the winemaker: jovial, tasty, juicy, and gamey!

This Magnum of red wine Mercurey 1st cru La Bondue from Domaine De Suremain comes from a beautiful 1st cru terroir of Mercurey, on clay-limestone soils resting on the bedrock with a good proportion of iron oxide. This results in a powerful yet tasty and digestible wine, with fine tannins and a lovely structure of tangy red fruits, without any excessive woodiness. It's the very expression of juicy and earthy Mercurey. The aromatic profile is centered around blackcurrant, blueberry with a nice touch of smoky, bacon notes.
