Hachette
"This 2015 comes from young vines hand-harvested at the very beginning of September, destemmed and macerated for a fortnight. Its majestic ruby color blends red fruits (cherry and raspberry) with peppery notes, nuanced with vanilla, licorice and menthol. Harmony is already present on the palate: rich, full-bodied, supported by silky tannins and a persistent finish. Concentration and the nobility of the terroir are the hallmarks of this bottle made for laying down". ( Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)

About the wine:
This 2015 comes from young vines hand-harvested in early September, destemmed and macerated for a fortnight. Its majestic ruby color blends red fruits (cherry and raspberry) with peppery notes, nuanced with vanilla, licorice and menthol. Harmony is already present on the palate: greedy, rich and ample, supported by silky tannins and a persistent finish. Concentration and the nobility of the terroir are the hallmarks of this bottle designed for laying down.
About the domain :
Since 1720, the Protheau family has perpetuated the Château d'Etroyes winemaking tradition in Mercurey. Today, the estate boasts 50 hectares of vineyards in the Côte Chalonnaise region.
