    The wine

    Legend has it that Mercurey owes its name to a Roman temple built in honour of the god Mercury. The Pinot Noir from which this cuvée is produced comes from the brown, pebbly, clay-rich soils of the Côte Chalonnaise appellation. After a vinification in temperature-controlled, oak conical vats for 15 to 20 days, the wine is matured in oak casks for 14 to 16 months. This cuvée from Domain Albert Bichot gives off intense aromas of wild berries, red and black fruits and stone fruits such as plum and peach. The wine is delicate and its finish incredibly long.

    Information about domain Albert Bichot

    Albert Bichot is an illustrious maison of Burgundy. The family settled in Burgundy in 1350 but it was only in the 19th century that it became interested in the vine and vineyards. In 1831, Bernard Bichot developed a trading house in his name. Since 1996, Alberic Bichot (6th generation) has been working to raise the quality of wines produced. He acquired many plots, meaning that the maison now has 100 hectares of vineyards. Here we find the Clos Frantin on the Côte de Nuits, the Domaine du Pavillon and the Domaine Adélie on the Chalonnaise coast as well as the Domaine Long Depaquit in Chablis. These wines are certified as organic. At the same time, the maison carries out its trading business by purchasing only carefully selected grapes. The wines are all vinified in Beaune under the leadership of the very talented Alain Serveaux.
