Mercurey
Terroirs
Mercurey is one of the most beautiful appellation of the Côte Chalonnaise. With the soil made of marl et limestone, it is now considered one of the most important appellation of burgundy in red wine.
Tasting
Deep, profound ruby colour.
This crisp-fruited wine evokes strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. Age brings in notes of spicy tobacco notes and cocoa beans.
In the mouth this wine is rich, and full-bodied. When aged, it is rounded and meaty and the tannins are silky.
Food Matching
Beef rib steaks, or joints of beef or lamb, braised or in sauce.
