A beautifully crafted expression of Côte Chalonnaise Pinot Noir, drawn from one of Mercurey’s most historic and well-exposed premier cru sites. The warm and generous 2022 vintage brings a seductive purity of fruit: ripe cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry ripple from the glass, supported by subtle floral notes and a whisper of sweet spice. The château’s gentle extraction and carefully judged oak (around one-third new) give the wine its trademark balance—supple, elegant and finely structured.

On the palate, this is classic Mercurey 1er Cru with a modern touch: vibrant red fruit, silky tannins and a fresh mineral line that reflects the limestone-rich soils of Les Puillets. There’s just enough weight to make it immediately appealing, yet the poise and tension promise 8–10 years of graceful evolution. Versatile and refined, it’s a superb Pinot for roast poultry, duck breast, mushroom dishes or a simple but perfect charcuterie board.

Pinot Noir (100%)

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most revered and expressive grape varieties, prized for its elegance, complexity, and ability to reflect terroir like no other. Native to Burgundy, it thrives in cool to moderate climates and is notoriously thin-skinned and finicky to grow, requiring careful vineyard management. In the glass, Pinot Noir typically offers delicate aromas of red berries—such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry—alongside floral notes, forest floor, and subtle spice. Its light to medium body, gentle tannins, and bright acidity make it both graceful and food-friendly. Whether from the limestone slopes of Burgundy, the coastal vineyards of California, the hills of Oregon, or New Zealand’s Central Otago, Pinot Noir captivates with its finesse, transparency, and the ability to age gracefully, making it a favourite among both winemakers and wine lovers alike.

Burgundy - in eastern France, is one of the world’s most revered wine regions, celebrated for its deep-rooted history, complex terroirs, and single-varietal expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Unlike Bordeaux's grand blends, Burgundy focuses on purity and place, with wines that reflect the nuances of individual vineyards—sometimes just a few rows of vines. The region is divided into key subregions: Chablis in the north (crisp, mineral whites), the Côte de Nuits (prestigious reds like Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée), the Côte de Beaune (home to legendary whites like Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet), as well as the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. With a mosaic of limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate, Burgundy produces wines of finesse, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. Its system of classifications—from regional to village, premier cru, and grand cru—is rooted in centuries of tradition and terroir-driven philosophy.
