Côte Chalonnaise

Mercurey 2019

Chardonnay 75 cl

The Mercurey appellation is part of the Côte Chalonnaise vineyards and is one of the most important wine appellations in Burgundy.  Indeed, it covers more than 400 hectares and was appreciated by Gabrielle d'Estrée, mistress of Henri IV. The Appellation owes its name to the god of commerce and messenger of the gods in Roman mythology, Mercury.

Tasting : Our Mercurey seduces the eye with its limpid and pure silver yellow colour. On the palate, we find a warm body with brioche notes enhanced by spices such as vanilla and toasted bread notes brought by the passage in barrel.
Wine & Food Pairing : White meat, Grilled or roasted fish, Soft cheeses (Brie, Camembert, Comté...)
