Mercurey 1er Cru Rouge

Mercurey belongs to the Côte Chalonnaise – the underestimated neighbor of the Côte de Nuits – and delivers Pinot Noir with real Burgundian character, without the prices of the great appellations. This 1er Cru from Domaine Chanson shows why that is.

Chanson is one of the oldest négociant houses in the Côte de Beaune, founded in 1750 in Beaune. Since the takeover by the Bollinger group in 1999, the estate has been working consistently on quality: stricter selection in the vineyard, gentle vinification, aging in Burgundian pièces with a moderate proportion of new oak.

In the glass, the wine shows a strong ruby red. On the nose, sour cherry and red currant, plus violets and a subtle hint of earth – typical for the loamy-calcareous soils of Mercurey. Medium body on the palate, fine but present tannins, lively acidity, and a finish with a slight peppery spice. Not a heavy wine, but one with backbone and length.

The Domaine

Domaine Chanson

Domaine Chanson, founded in 1750, is one of the oldest and most renowned wineries in the Burgundy region. It is one of the few wineries that has remained in existence since the 18th century.

Since 1999, it has been part of the Bollinger Group, which has carried out extensive restorations and modernizations to make the winery one of the best in Burgundy. Amidst the picturesque hills stretch the 45 hectares of vineyards, which thrive in the most prestigious sites such as Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, and Chablis.

Here, tradition and modernity merge into a unique symbiosis that gives every wine a special touch. The historic bastion, a wine cellar from the 15th century, is the heart of the winery.

In these venerable walls, the wines mature to true perfection under perfect conditions. Every bottle tells a story of dedication and craftsmanship.
