Tasting notes
The 2016 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Myglands is showing well, exhibiting pretty aromas of cherries, raspberries and spices, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and succulent palate with a charming, open-knit profile and a moderately intense finish. It's a fine Mercurey, though the qualitative leap between this and the redder-fruited Framboisière is less pronounced than it sometimes is.

(from classic red Mercurey soil; tasted from tank): Bright, dark ruby-red. Lively scents of black cherry, licorice and flowers. Round and sweet but penetrating in the mouth; less showy than the Framboisière but more firmly structured. This juicy midweight offers a solid core of dark cherry and licorice flavor and finishes with rising floral length and a distinctly dark cast.
Monopole. Mid crimson. Darker and sweeter than the Framboisière – lots of ripe cherry fruit. Firmer texture too, deeper and less juicy. (JH)
