Product notes

Mercurey takes its name from an ancient temple built by the Romans in honor of Mercury. With its 650 hectares, 85 Climats in Mercurey village appellation, and 32 Premier Crus, it is the largest appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise. In 2005, Domaines Albert Bichot expanded into this region with the creation of Domaine Adélie, encompassing over 5 hectares of vineyards. The two parcels that produced this wine are planted on a southwest- to west-facing slope. The well-drained, brown, stony soils, rich in clay, rest on a hard limestone subsoil with some areas of marl.

Production notes

Hand-harvested, with grapes sorted upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation maceration in temperature-controlled wooden vats for 16 to 20 days. Aged in oak barrels (15 to 20% new oak) for 12 to 14 months.

Tasting notes

A bouquet of red and black fruit aromas (raspberry, cherry, blackcurrant, etc.) combined with wilder notes. The palate is rich, full-bodied, and finely structured. The finish is long and harmonious.
