Domaine Michel Briday, Mercurey Rouge "Les Vaux"

While the Rully appellation often offers expressive bouquets, even when the vintage is young, Mercurey takes a little more time to blossom. Patience is rewarded by great aromatic complexity on the small red and black fruits (blackberry) but also a floral touch ( rose) . On the palate, a solid tannic structure gives it structure and excellent ageing potential.

Maturation: After manual harvesting in small crates, the grapes are sorted in the cellar by a dedicated team. They are then de-stemmed to keep only the berries. A period of pre-fermentation maceration (from 3 to 8 days according to the vintage) makes it possible to extract the first aromas. Fermentations take place thanks to the indigenous yeasts (no addition). Vinification is spread over 20 to 25 days in total, so as to give good structure and good ageing potential. After racking, the grapes are put in oak barrels (25% new).
