Discover the grape variety: Mourvaison
Simple, light and fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby hue, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic Provençal profile. Almost disappeared, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the Provençal vineyard. Native French black variety from Provence, formerly grown in the south-east.

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: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
