Domaine Jeannin-Naltet Mercurey Clos des Grands Voyens 2013

In its youth, the nose is dominated by red and black fruits, which in time are mellowed by hints of undergrowth and soft spices. This wine is well structured with beautiful volume and velvety tannins. Lovely with lamb, duck, turkey or mature cheeses.

Benoit Eschard started out as an engineer before he took over the 6th generation family property from his uncle in 2011. The estate was created in 1858 and covers 9 ha of contiguous vineyards exclusively within the Mercurey appellation including 7ha of Mercurey 1er Cru, including Clos des Grands Voyens, 5ha as a Monopole. He has been improving on the viticultural practices in order to reach better maturity and explore each plot’s potential: installing higher trellis, thinning out, disbudding, purchasing of a sorting table, etc.
