About the wine

South-facing plot of vine contained on one continuous piece of land (2ha), located in the heart of the village of Mercurey, on a gently sloping hill. The vineyard is HVE3 certified (High Environmental Quality) since 2020 harvest.

Winemaking

Harvest is made by hand during 4 days. Grapes are harvested and put in boxes, then protected in a temperate room before vatting. Any berry where rot is present will be rejected, so as to only work with healthy grapes. After destemming, berries are put into stainless steel vats. Fermentation lasts 10 days around, and is controlled thanks to a water belt, enabling to regulate each vat’s temperature. Treading is made by hand once a day. After fermentation, wine is hosted in barrels for a year, before bottling.
