| This is what makes a good Mercurey... |
| …plus the art and
expertise of each wine-grower. |
 |
|
THE VINEYARD
With its 600 hectares Mercurey is the biggest
“communal appellation” in the heart of Burgundy (Meursault: 454 hectares,
Beaune: 449 hectares). |
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
THE VARIETIES OF GRAPE
Mercurey wine comes from the two noble Burgundy
vines : Pinot Noir for the red, and Chardonnay for the white. |
|
|
 |
|
PRODUCTION
Wine from Mercurey can be found throughout the
world. Approximately 3,300,000 bottles of red and 400,000 of white are produced every
year. |
|
|
 |
|
WINE-MAKING
The fruit of centuries of experience in Burgundy
to which each and every wine-grower in Mercurey and Saint-Martin-sous-Montaigu adds his
own professional touch. |

THE SOMMELIER’S RECOMMENDATION
Serve the red wine (14/16°C) with meat and
game, the white (12/14°C) with white meat, offal, and pressed cheese. |
