Score 89/100 · Drink 2018-2028, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Jul 2018
In contrast to the Vieilles Vignes bottling, the 2016 Mercurey Chapitre derives from soils that are richer in limestone, and the ensuing wine is higher-toned and brighter, offering up aromas of red berries. On the palate, it's medium-bodied and finer-boned, with bright acids, chalky tannins and a crunchy core of fruit.
