Sell 2015 Domaine du Meix Foulot Mercurey 'Clos du Château de Montaigu' Monopole Premier Cru best price

About the wine: Always the most regal and elegant of the quartet of reds from the domaine, the “Clos du Chateau de Montaigu” is a monopole of the Domaine du Meix Foulot. The “Clos” is 1.90 hectares in size. Many different soil types are within this site and the age of the vines varies, with parts of the vineyard planted in 1989, 1986, 1980, 1964, and 1955. Production is in the neighborhood of 575 cases per annum. Curiously, this “Clos” faces north-northeast but this exposure works to produce a wine of great finesse with superb aging potential. Habitually, this wine is marked by exuberant notes of wild berries and a lively presence on the palate, the firm tannins giving excellent length and persistence. 100% Pinot Noir Awarded 93pts by Wine Enthusiast Awarded 91pts by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Tasting Notes: A closed nose on this wine allows glimpses of red cherry slightly colored with a woodland note. A picture of vivid, understated juiciness, the palate is harmonious and elegant, its firm web of tannin holding everything like silky gauze. Earthier aspects on the finish suggest slight evolution but also whet the appetite for further age. It's lovely and so balanced Food Pairing: Grilled Pork, Grilled Chicken, light bodied cheese like Camembert.
