How it tastes
In the glass
A finely etched Pinot Noir defined by purity of fruit and structural composure.
Profile
Nose
Red cherry and raspberry layered with dried rose, light spice, and a subtle forest floor nuance.
Palate
Medium-bodied with bright acidity and finely woven tannins. Red fruit remains vibrant and lifted, carried by gentle earthiness and a mineral undertone that gives direction without weight.
Finish
Clean and persistent, with floral notes and a softly savoury close.
“A site-transparent Pinot Noir rooted in finesse rather than power.”

- Minimal sulphur, no fining or 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.
