Mercurey 1st Cru «Les Veleys» 2023
Domaine du Meix Foulot
The council of caveau
The 1er Cru Les Veleys, from a family domaine whose great-great-grandfather created the appellation Mercurey in 1923
For a beef fillet, or a well-seasoned game. This 1er Cru has the minerality and elegance of a true great terroir one Mercurey. The red one to open when you want a 1er Cru that has substance.
This wine also goes well with our dishes — you can find it in the restaurant
In case of exhaustion of a vintage, the next one will be offered, unless otherwise indicated in the order.

The good agreement ⌄
Around the glass
Its mineral elegance is well earned, glass after glass, right up to the end of the meal. The cherry and the plum open up frankly; the creaminess comes to temperature. Seventeen degrees, no more, to maintain its elegant concentration.
Agreements
Beef fillet — the structure of the wine holds the meat
Game — the spices of wine respond to the game
Cured cheeses — the velvety tannins harmonize with the paste
Occasions
The 1er Cru to offer to those who love wines that have a story to tell
A bottle of wine to be forgotten for a few years in the cellar
