Les Héritiers Saint-Genys Mercurey 1er Cru Clos Marcilly Cuvée Clovis 2020JS96$49.98Availability:In Stock96 Points! When everything is right, and here it is, then Mercury can smell and taste like Grand Cru red Burgundy from further north. Enromous concentration and very fine tannins interlocked with dark minerality, the finish very energetic with so much drive. From vines planted in 1947 and 1956, sustainably grown with no use of herbicides. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. - JamesSuckling.com

Bruno Lorenzon Mercurey 1er Cru Les Champs Martin Cuvee Carline 2020WA93-95+$99.98Availability:In Stock93-95+ Points! The 2020 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos de Champs Martin Cuvée Carline unwinds in the glass with a deep bouquet of wild berries, vine smoke, raw cocoa, cloves, anise and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's layered and complete, with a tightly wound core of vibrant fruit framed by beautifully refined tannins and concluding with a long, saline finish. Less demonstrative than its 2019 and 2018 predecessors, I suspect it will emerge as the finest of the trilogy in the fulness of time, but it will require patience. - William Kelley, robertparker.com

Chateau d'Etroyes Mercurey Rouge 1er Cru Clos l'Eveque 2019$31.98Availability:In StockThe "Clos l'Evêque" was, in the XVIII century, the best vineyard in Mercurey. It belonged to the Bishopric of Chalon-sur-Saône, near Mercurey, and the wine was used for the bishop' receptions as well as for the masses (only the best wine could be served to God). In French "Evêque" means Bishop. It is also called a "Clos" because the vines used to be surrounded by a wall. Some parts of it still remain.

Charton Mercurey 1er Cru La Chassière 2018Special Price $39.98 Regular Price $58.98Availability:In StockAs I wrote last year, 33-year-old Vincent Charton took over this ten-hectare domaine in Mercurey in 2008. He works the soils, debuds to control yields and harvests by hand. The entirely destemmed grapes ferment for around 20 days before maturation in barrels (some 20% to 30% new) from Tonnellerie Chassin, which marry beautifully with the wines. The result is a range of generous, gourmand red Mercurey bottlings that display melting tannins and an abundance of juicy fruit. - William Kelley, robertparker.com Learn MoreHURRY, ONLY 4 LEFT!
