Gouffier Mercurey “La Charmée” 2022 is a refined expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte Chalonnaise and comes from a small east-facing vineyard of just 0.8 hectares, planted on clay-limestone soils. The 2022 vintage shows a vivid ruby hue with lifted aromas of black cherry, wild berries, and gentle spice. The palate is silky yet structured, with fine tannins, minerality, and a long, elegant finish—an outstanding wine that balances Burgundian tradition with modern finesse.

Domaine Gouffier—an estate with roots dating back to the 18th century and rejuvenated in recent years under the direction of Guillaume Gouffier and winemaker Frédéric Gueugneau. With a strong focus on sustainability and precision, the domaine farms organically and works exclusively with grapes from its own holdings. Their attention to detail continues in the cellar, where natural yeasts, minimal intervention, and aging in both oak barrels and terracotta eggs allow each parcel to express its unique character.

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.
