How it tastes
In the glass
An elegant, immediately drinkable Côte Chalonnaise red — the kind of village Burgundy that overdelivers at its level.
Profile
Nose
Fresh red cherry, a hint of violet and raspberry, light earthy undertone. Bright and inviting.
Palate
Supple and round, with gentle tannin and good natural freshness. Light to medium body. The approach — careful selection, hand harvest, gravity transfer — shows in the purity of the fruit.
Finish
Clean and dry, with a fine mineral persistence typical of the Chalonnaise limestone.
“A Côte Chalonnaise Pinot Noir shaped by limestone-clay soils and ageing in old Burgundy barrels.”

Terroir & winemaking
From the vineyard to the bottle
Château de Garnerot is based in Mercurey, at the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise. Terres de Garnerot is the estate's Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise — the widest expression of the domaine's parcellaire philosophy.
- Vines
- Pinot Noir on limestone and clay soils in the Côte Chalonnaise, Mercurey. Certified organic since 2022.
- Soils
- Limestone and clay — the Chalonnaise expression of Burgundy, with slightly more warmth and roundness than the Côte d'Or.
- Farming
- Certified organic, working toward biodynamic certification. Parcellaire selection. Hand harvested, hand sorted.
- Cellar
- De-stemmed, cold pre-fermentation maceration, natural fermentation with native yeasts. Gentle daily pump-overs for finesse. Transferred by gravity, no pump. Aged in old Burgundy barrels.
- Additions
- Minimal sulphur. No fining, no filtration.
Where it's from · Burgundy, France
MERCUREY
Mercurey is the largest appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise, located south of the Côte de Beaune. Historically underappreciated compared to its northern neighbors, it has seen a renaissance through more precise viticulture and site-focused production.

Good to know
Questions we get a lot
Is this a natural wine?
All our wines come from small growers who farm organically or biodynamically and keep intervention in the cellar to a minimum: native yeasts, little or no added sulphites. Every producer has their own approach; the details are in “From the vineyard to the bottle” above.
Why is it a bit cloudy, or is there sediment?
Many of our wines are bottled unfiltered. A light haze or some sediment is natural and harmless: stand the bottle upright for a few hours and pour gently.
How long does it keep once open?
It depends on the wine (see “Once open” above). As a rule: cork back in and keep it in the fridge, reds included.
