Domaine de la Monette “Saut Muchiau” Mercurey Rouge

This wine has a red robe and purple tints with aromas of ripe fruits like dark cherries, soft vanilla oak and hint of herbs. Classy and powerful this Mercurey can be kept for three to four years. Can be decanted.

Mercurey is a village in the Côte Chalonnaise sub-region of Burgundy. It is one of the five communal titles of the Chalonnaise and produces predominantly red wines from the Pinot Noir grape variety.

The classic Mercurey wine is deeper in color, more full-bodied and also longer-lived than its counterparts from the other Chalonnaise communes. This is the result not only of the excellent terroir, but also of the more quality-focused appellation laws. The maximum yield for crops here is closer to the stringent regulations of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune than it is to the slightly more relaxed rules that apply to the rest of the Chalonnaise.
