Mercurey 1er Cru

Trade Tools

Domaine Chanson Mercurey Premier Cru is sourced from carefully selected Premier Cru plots with East and South-East exposures that lend generosity and typicity true to the appellation. Mercurey, the highest-yielding appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise, produces nearly a quarter of its vineyards as Premier Cru. This wine has a bright ruby color with floral fragrances and intense red fruit aromas, including red currant and cherry, complemented by pepper notes. It features a deep, tight texture and well-crafted structure, with a long, generous finish marked by crunchy fruit notes.

VINTAGE

The 2022 Burgundy vintage was defined by heat and drought, with about 16% less rainfall and 280 extra hours of sunshine than recent vintages. Despite the extreme weather, well-timed rains in August ensured balanced ripening. The harvest started early, around late August in the Côte de Beaune and early September in the Côte de Nuits and Chablis. The fruit was healthy, ripe, and of good quality, with both reds and whites showing freshness and balance, defying expectations for a hot vintage.

Wine Spectator - July 31, 2025 "A rich, smoothly textured red, boasting black cherry, blackberry, violet and oak spice aromas and flavors. Taut, offset by sweet, ripe fruit, this lingers with mineral and spice accents. Shows fine balance and length."
