About the wine
This white vieilles vignes Mercurey is grown in the Plateau des Montelons, a cool, windy area with limestone soil. Its forty-year-old vines are harvested manually and sorted. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are pressed prior to alcoholic fermentation in casks. The wine is matured for one year (30% new wood) on fine lees. It is fresh and precise, revealing notes of yellow fruit and citrus. These fresh notes require the wine to be drunk in its early youth to prevent the risk of "fading". The supple palate enables gourmet pairings with a hearty aperitif or a starter.
