Domaine Michel Briday Mercurey Les Vaux 2017
Mercurey, Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, FranceDomaine Michel Briday was founded in 1976 by Michel and Lucette Briday with 15 acres. Today the domaine is managed by Michel’s son and daughter-in-law, Stéphane and Sandrine, and consists of 38 acres spread across the municipalities of Rully, Bouzeron, and Mercurey. These vines were planted in 1990 on deep clay, and grapes were native fermented in stainless before moving to oak to rest (25% new). Sultry cherry, raspberry leather, tart red currant run the streamlined palate, shaped with mineral salts and sticky tannins. Tasting a touch oxidative and a bit tired at this point in its evolution, this is drinking now, ideally with roast mushrooms / pork.Tasted: 23 November 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $53.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
