2019 | Château de Mercuès 'Les Évêques' | Cahors Pommard Premier Cru lemon peel

lemon peel

this is a deliciously ripe fruity wine

Here the expressive nose is derived more from the red side of the fruit spectrum while displaying plenty of spice and floral nuances

I tasted three vintages of the Bastarda/Trousseau varietal bottling to catch up with past vintages

The nose of the 2019 Ultreia Saint Jacques is nothing short of spectacular

2019 | Château de Mercuès 'Les Évêques' | Cahors Pommard Premier Cru lemon peelFrom vineyards on slopes beneath a medieval castle, now a luxury hotel, this is a dense wine, still in its infancy. It has concentration and layers of black plum skin flavors. The weight of the wine will soften over the next few years. 93 Pts Wine Enthusiast
