Product Images

In the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise (12 kilometers from Chalon-sur-Saône), Mercurey is one of the most important wine appellations in Burgundy. Protected from damp winds by its hillsides reminiscent of the aptly named Val d'Or, the vineyard also extends over the village of Saint- Martin-sous-Montaigu. This appellation has 32 climats classified as Premier Cru. Wine making process & maturing:

The grapes are destemmed and vinified in vats for about 4 weeks, thus revealing all the richness of their aromas. After devatting, the wines are entered in oak barrels and aged for 15 months.

Deep, red color. On the nose, we perceive clear primary aromas of red fruits, such as raspberries and especially cherries. On the palate, it is a straightforward wine, very well structured, the material is dense with grain, the tannins are firm but will allow the wine to wait in the cellar.
Winery tasting note

Deep cherry red. Dark fruited nose of black cherry, raspberry and exotic Asian spices. Mid-weight, quite juicy and succulent - real substance and depth on show here. Lovely mix of ripe, sweet up-front fruit and savoury, slightly earthbound mid-palate. One senses that this one has more to offer.
