Cherry, blackberry, and a spice-laced finish with fine tannins and bracing acidity — structured and elegant with real depth.
100% Pinot Noir blended from two Premier Cru sites: Les Byots brings power and structure, Les Montaigus (higher altitude) adds spice and refinement. Vines 20-45 years old on clay-limestone, aged with 20% new oak. Only 500-800 cases produced!
Agnès Dewé de Launay runs this estate, which has been in her family for over two centuries, perched on the foothills of the ruined Château de Montaigu — one of the last strongholds of the Dukes of Burgundy. Mercurey is the largest and most serious commune in the Côte Chalonnaise, and this is one of its benchmark domaines.
