The nose on this young wine is starting to open. A beautiful aromatic profile is already emerging. White flowers and notes of almond tree flowers are enhanced with vanilla bursts, slightly toasted. On the palate the wine has a nice minerality with a good acidity and finishing nicely on some fresh almond aromas. It also has some spicy notes which give to the wine a very good length. The wine is structured on the roundness and amplitude, with a richness and a vivacity which confers a beautiful harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003eFrom the 1er Cru \"Les Champs Martin\", situated in the Northern part of the Mercurey village.\u003cbr\u003eAverage age of the vines is 16 years.
