Winemaking and Aging
WINEMAKING
To preserve their integrity,
grapes are carefully harvested
and sorted out by hand.
Following the pneumatic press,
juices stay in a vat overnight for
a cool settling down and then are
directly filled in tanks or barrels
depending on their aromatic
profile.
AGING
Fermentations and aging are
taking place for 30% in
traditional Burgundian 400 litres
barrels and 70% in stainless steel
vats for 10 months.
We only use light toasted French
oak coming mainly from
Bourgogne, Allier and Vosges
forests

Food and wine pairings
Our white Mercurey 2020 will pair nicely with a salmon cooked with a shallot sauce, some sautéed vegetables but also with some Comté or Morbier.
Service and cellaring
It can be served from now at 12-14°C or kept in cellar for 5 to 10 years.
Art of tasting
Owning great wines in your cellar is not enough, you also need to know how to serve them.
Température is an essential element, around 53-57° F for the white and 55-59°F for the red. And if you don't have the right tasting glass which will amplify the wines's aromas, you may considerably reduce your tasting pleasure.
A great glass gives a large ventilation surface to the wine and a tightening neck, which allow the nose to grasp more easily the richness and the complexity of a great wine.
