Location

In the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, Mercurey is one of the most important wine appellations of Burgundy.

Soil Type

Clay and limestone surface soil, deep lying marl. Ideal conditions for the production of Chardonnay.

Vineyards

The slopes are situated between 230 and 250 meters above sea level. Average age of the vines: 40 years. The vines are worked using sustainable viticulture. Density: 10,000 vines / hectare. Yield: 55 hectoliters / hectare.

Vinification

Traditional vinification. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. The fermentation is carried out in oak barrels, 20% of which are new oak. The wine is then aged for 12 months with regular stirring to gain depth and complexity.

Tasting Notes

Golden yellow with green highlights. The notes of white flowers (hawthorn, acacia) bring elegance with aromas of citrus (lime). Minerality, very typical white wine of Mercurey. It owes its long finish to its acid frame and its remarkable grilled notes to its barrel aging. Its freshness and finesse allow it to be enjoyed as an aperitif. It also pairs well with white meat and sauce. At the seaside, it will be perfect with a plate of shellfish (lobster, scallops) steamed or poached or noble fish just fried, grilled or steamed. Ideal cheeses to pair would be goat, Beaufort, Comte, Emmental…
