Our opinion on the cuvée
Its deep ruby color, with garnet reflections, elegantly captures the light. The nose slowly opens, revealing a generous palette of ripe red and black fruits – cherry, redcurrant, a hint of blackberry – mingled with delicate spicy notes and a perfectly integrated, subtly woody touch. On the palate, the wine asserts its character with restraint: the texture is ample yet precise, supported by fine, velvety tannins that structure the whole without ever weighing it down. The natural freshness of the cru brings balance and length, extending the tasting experience to a harmonious and persistent finish. A Mercurey monopole that is both distinguished and inviting, accurately expressing the depth and nobility of its Clos.
Les Héritiers Saint-Genys embodies the unique journey of Patrice du Jeu, a former restaurateur who became a winemaker out of passion and conviction. In 2010, he took over a 12-hectare estate that had been abandoned between the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise, which he entirely restructured with exacting standards and humility. The estate cultivates a diverse range of plots, from Chassagne-Montrachet to Santenay, extending to the Côte Chalonnaise, with a notable exception: the Mercurey Premier Cru Clos Marcilly, a monopole vineyard. Each wine expresses its terroir, from the approachable Bourgogne Aligoté to the more distinctive Premier Crus. The cuvées, acclaimed by several guides, reflect the same rigorous approach for each appellation. Being a winemaker in Chassagne-Montrachet remains an honor for Patrice, one he strives to earn every day.
