Huber-Verdereau, Mercurey 1er Cru ‘Blanc Les Combins’

This Mercurey 1er Cru Blanc exhibits a pale golden yellow core with slightly green reflections at the meniscus. With air, the nose offers incredible charm and personality with classic white Burgundian notes of concentrated yellow apple, white peach and bosc pear along with yellow plum, fresh butter, a touch of hazelnut, budding lime blossoms, a hint of oyster shell and just a kiss of baking spice. The medium-bodied palate boasts high acidity, pronounced minerality and a more citrus-driven fruit profile than the nose with flavors of lemon peel, lime blossom, freshly cut yellow apple and a mouthwatering crushed limestone finish. This refreshing, crisp Burgundian example is drinking great right now but will most likely peak in the next two to three years

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
