Magnum Mercurey La Plante Chassey 2017 Domaine DERAIN

.

Coming from an emblematic terroir in the Côte Chalonnaise, the Magnum Mercurey La Plante Chassey 2017 from Domaine Derain reveals the full depth of a characterful Pinot Noir, meticulously and sensitively raised in biodynamics. This cuvée elegantly expresses a sincere vision of the Mercurey vineyard, balancing aromatic richness with structural harmony.

After several years of aging, the wine now unveils a refined and nuanced expression. The nose opens up with notes of ripe black fruits – blackberry, black cherry, plum – enveloped in scents of undergrowth, humus, and a delicate smoky touch reminiscent of earth and fire. On the palate, the attack is generous and smooth, carried by a velvety texture, perfectly integrated tannins, and a persistent finish, imbued with a mineral freshness.

Deep, noble, and refined by time, this 2017 Mercurey captivates lovers of naturally matured Burgundies. Its magnum size enhances its presence and gastronomic dimension: a wine for sharing that will shine on an autumn table, alongside roasted meats, mushrooms, or slow-cooked dishes.
