Mercurey "Les Caraby" - Maison Chanzy

Medium ruby-red in color, but quite darkly pigmented. Aromas are restrained & introspective, showing red-fruit & coffee notes. Vivid cassis & redcurrant flavors on the palate are supported by fresh acidity. The mid-weight wine has fine, firm tannins. The acidity gives the cassis fruit on the mid-palate an attractive juicy nature. The tannins give grip without being astringent. The finish is long & elegant with tangy black-fruit to the end.

“La Montée de St Ruble” is a great terroir. Marly soils usually yield round, rich wines, but due to this slope's north-western exposure, the resulting wine is fresh with good acidity and boasts lovely ripe fruit. Its precise aromas and flavors make this wine the perfect match for gourmet meals as well as for dishes with character.

Food pairing: Fresh salad with goats cheese, smoked salmon, or an asparagus risotto.
