A Mercurey of astonishing purity, a genuine jewel among Burgundian white wines. More info

The Mercurey appellation nestles at the heart of the Côte Châlonnaise, between the villages of Givry and Rully. While it has no Grand Crus, it does offer a wide variety of Premier Crus that reflect the diversity of terroirs in this renowned appellation. Located at an altitude of around 250 metres, the Chardonnay vines grow on crystalline soils covered with sandstone. In the winery, the harvested grapes are vinified in the purest Burgundian tradition, with as little intervention as possible. The winemaking process culminates in a long ageing period before bottling.
The pale, slightly shiny gold colour reveals a delicate nose, offering a perfect balance between fragrances of white flowers and notes of white peaches. On the palate, the clean attack reveals luscious fruit aromas leading to a fresh, flavoursome finish. This cuvée promises exceptional ageing potential.

Mercurey 1er Cru Les Crêts Raphaël Corcia serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Risotto de petit épeautre, Escalope de veau à la crème, Crevettes à la créole.
