Allen Meadows, August 2023
Château de Chamirey
Mercurey Clos de la Maladière 2022
Moderate wood and menthol influences are present on the ripe aromas of plum, black cherry and earth. The succulent, round and rich middleweight flavors possess both good volume and a lovely texture thanks to the suave mouthfeel, all wrapped in a bitter pit fruit-inflected finish where a touch of warmth emerges. This could use better depth so a few years of keeping should help.
À propos de Burghound.com
Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
