Mercurey Le Chapitre 2017 Domaine Lorenzon

MERCUREY LE CHAPITRE DOM. LORENZON 2017

赤い果実とスパイスが響き合う、丁寧な一杯。

明るく透明感のあるルビー色。チェリーやラズベリーの華やかなアロマに、シナモンやクローヴのスパイス、ほのかなトースト香が調和します。口当たりは滑らかで、しっかりとした果実味と繊細な酸が心地よく共鳴し、きめ細かなタンニンが全体を支えます。余韻には土っぽさとミネラルが現れ、上品で洗練された印象を残します。鶏もも肉のハーブロースト、豚肉のマスタードクリームソースとともにどうぞ。

Tasting note

Bright and transparent ruby color. The aroma that rises from the glass is a harmonious blend of gorgeous aromas of red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, spices of cinnamon and cloves, and a subtle toasty aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth, with a pleasant resonance between the firm fruitiness and delicate acidity. The tannins are finely textured, and the aftertaste is earthy and mineral, leaving an elegant and sophisticated impression. A highly refined flavor with depth.

Food pairing

Roasted chicken thigh with herbs, sautéed pork with mustard cream sauce, mushroom and bacon tart
