Mercurey's name refers to an ancient temple built by the Romans to honour the god Mercury.
With its surface area of 1,600 acres, 85 "village" appellations and 32 Premier Crus, Mercurey is the largest appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise.
In 2005, Albert Bichot's estates expanded into this region wih the creation of Domaine Adélie, an estate with more than 12 acres of vines.
Our two plots are located on a slope that benefits from south-west/western exposure. The pebbly brown soil is well drained yet rich in clay and overlies a hard limestone subsoil with a few areas where marls are predominant.

Tasting

The nose features scents of red and black fruit (raspberry, cherry, blackcurrant…) combined with wilder notes. The palate is delectable, fleshy and finely structured. The finish is long and harmonious.
