Génot-Boulanger: Mercurey 1er Cru Les Saumonts 2019 bio
Burgundy - Mercurey - 1er Cru - Red Wine -2019 marks an exceptional year for the wines of the Côte Chalonnaise. A superb vintage both qualitatively and quantitatively, relatively homogeneous since this year has smiled on almost the entire Burgundy vineyard.
This Mercurey 1er Cru Les Saumonts 2019 of the Domaine Génot-Boulanger comes from a young plot planted in 2016, with a total surface of 2.01 hectares. The youth of these vines is reflected in the wines, which are more about fruit than complexity. Located on a hillside at the foot of a cliff, the name "Les Saumonts" means "under the mountain" or "under the mountain".
The maturation of this first growth is done in two operations, with in the first time, a 12 months passage in oak barrels and in the second time, a 6 months maturation in vats. The Domaine Génot-Boulanger's aim is to let the natural character of the terroir and the vintage express itself. This is why this Mercurey is vinified in the least interventionist way possible (a long fermentation, a soft extraction with 1 to 2 punchings down maximum, no use of fining yeast, no filtration).
Tasting comments:
The robe: purple with garnet reflections
The nose: a "bomb" of fresh and greedy red fruits (cherry, blackberry, strawberry jam), light spicy notes at the end.
The mouth: balanced, fresh, with a light tannic structure
The advice of 12bouteilles:
A light wine, "easy" to grasp and already ready to drink. A very nice accompaniment to a white meat, or a cheese platter.....
