En quelques mots

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.

Dégustation : Our Mercurey has an intense ruby red color with purple tints. An appealing nose with notes of small black fruits. The palate is fruity and toasted, ample with silky and elegant tannins. The finish is unctuous.
Accord Mets & Vins : Cured meat, Red meat and game

Vinification

Fermentation

The grapes are sorted and then de-stemmed, and transported to the vat with the help of belts, always with the aim of having a whole grape, not crushed. We proceed to a cold pre-fermentation maceration at 10°C for 4 to 5 days. During this phase, the aromas of the grapes and components such as anthocyanins are released. Then comes the fermentation during which we punch down the cap daily to extract the tannins. Vatting lasts between 18 and 20 days.
