Les Heritiers Saint-Genys Mercurey 1er Monopole 'Clos Marcilly' Blanc 2020
95 POINTS: James Suckling
50-Year-Old Vines, Limestone Soils Grapes were harvested manually and carefully placed into small, well-ventilated boxes for careful transportation to the winery. Whole bunches were fermented in oak barrels in a classic vinification style. Ageing also took place in oak barrels.
“Generous yet subtle nose of many citrus fruits and crisp pears. A very focused and mineral Mercury, but only medium-bodied. Very long, refined and chalky finish with so much lemony freshness. This is one of the 3 original 1er Cru of Mercury. From grapes that were sustainably grown, with no use of herbicides. Drink or hold.” — James Suckling
