Mercurey white
Chamirey
This young vine gives a fine wine of real tension. Though the cuvée is built around citrus, aromas of white flowers and acacia come through with great freshness. A wine meant to be drunk young.

Winemaking
After whole-bunch pressing, the musts are settled. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in barrel, between 18°C and 22°C.
Ageing
Vinified exclusively in French oak. The barrel stock is renewed by thirds, a third new each year, and the oldest are three years old. Each wine receives its own ratio of new oak.

Mercurey white
La Brigadière
This parcel yields a precise, straight, thoroughbred and mineral wine. The aromas favour finesse over exuberance, evolving over time towards dried fruit, citrus, white flowers and acacia. The palate is taut and linear, then lingers and opens with time.

Les Veleys
This cuvée gives a broader wine on the palate, opening quickly with floral notes. Supple yet fleshy, never heavy. Ample and rich, easy to drink, holding a fine balance between acidity and structure.
