Côte de Beaune

A key wine-producing district of Burgundy in the east of France.

The Côte de Beaune area is the southern part of the Côte d'Or, the limestone ridge that is home to the great names of Burgundy wine. The Côte de Beaune starts between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune, and extends southwards for about 25 km to the river Dheune. The trend of producing red wines continues from the Côte de Nuits to the north, down through Beaune, although the wines become lighter and more perfumed. Farther south lie the great names of white Burgundy such as Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Product Details

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.

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.

"Red-fruited scent strafes the nose with a vivid hint of raspberry, accompanied by pinewood and a touch of toasty oak. The palate on this wine is smooth and concentrated, but retains that high note of bright raspberry while the backdrop gets a little smokier. This is an elegant wine with fine tannins and quite some structure. The freshness is remarkable for 2018." 92pts Wine enthusiast
