Information
This red Mercurey offers a beautiful ruby colour, and a nose characterised by aromas of gentian and small red fruits accompanied by toasted notes. Its juiciness of palate is particularly pleasant, along with its silky, enveloping tannins. It is an elegant wine with fine fruit characters that will bring out the best in a platter of charcuterie, a chicken and raspberry vinegar casserole or roasted poultry. A good foil for sirloin steak, roast or braised beef or lamb, it will also complement pork ribs with sage and both soft and mature cheeses.
Story
Mercurey dominates much of the Côte Chalonnaise at more than 250 metres altitude, with vines that sweep over the two opposing slopes of this tortuous valley. Here the primary massif of the Morvan hills resisted to the Jurassic fold, hence the multiple fractures that are visible, with various seams and strata uncovered. Protected from humid winds by their surrounding hills, the vineyards of Pinot Noir thrive on these rocky soils formed from layers of hard limestone. Our Gallic ancestors have been the first ones to cultivate vines on the hillsides of Mercurey. Gallic wine and Gallic barrels were known before the romans invaded, fifty years before Christ. And it is probable that Mercurey derived its name from a temple built by the Gallo-romans which was devoted to the god of commerce. AOC Mercurey produces a few noteworthy white wines, but is best known and renowned for its red wines.
