Philippe le Hardi Mercurey Les Puillets 1er Cru

Philippe le Hardi Mercurey Les Puillets 1er Cru is a red wine from Burgundy in France. It is a Premier Cru wine, which means that the grapes come from a high-quality vineyard. The wine is produced by Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi, which is located in the village of Santenay, in the Côte de Beaune.

The Les Puillets vineyard is located in the municipality of Mercurey, in the Côte Chalonnaise. The vineyard has a calcareous soil. The grapes are harvested by hand. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for 12 months in wooden barrels, some of which are new.

Philippe le Hardi Mercurey Les Puillets 1er Cru is a wine with a garnet-red color with a light purple glow. In the nose the wine has a nice balance between ripe red fruit such as blackberries and blueberries and the influence of wood aging is reflected in the scent of, among other things, laurel and sweet herbs. The tannins are present, but already nicely matured. The taste is aromatic and rich, with an intensity and length that you would expect from a wine of this level.
