Domaine Gouffier - Mercurey 1er Cru Clos L'Évêque 2020

Country: France

Region: Mercurey 1er Cru, Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy

Varietal: Pinot Noir

The nearly 200-year old estate had been through several name changes throughout its history, but had always remained a part of the extended Gouffier lineage. The property oozes history, as evidenced by its stunning, stone-domed cellar, which had once served as a bunker in the time of Napoleon Bonaparte.

This wine's fruits are from a 0.81 hectare plot (tiny), a true beauty. Tart cherry, juicy fruits with herbaceous notes. Pairs well with grilled chicken, quail with plums-balsamic vinegar, rotisserie chicken or grilled shrimp with spiced pineapples
