The wine region of Mercurey
Red capital of the Côte chalonnaise: signature Pinot Noir as king red (~80%) - deep ruby with notes of cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant and violet, evolving to leather, undergrowth and spices with ageing, structured tannins and a fleshy finish, fine ageing aptitude. Chardonnay in ample whites (citrus, white flowers, almond, brioche). AOC (1936), ~640 ha over Mercurey and Saint-Martin-sous-Montaigu, limestone marls, 32 Premiers Crus (Clos du Roi, Clos l'Évêque).
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Vintage (champagne)
It is a champagne made from a single harvest. In principle, we only vintage the great years: 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996... We find more often, now, the very good 2002, and the 2004, a little short.
