La Burgondie Mercurey Rouge

“La Burgondie” was the historical region of France that gave rise to the term Burgundy. The legendary little knight character that appears on the bottles truly captures the essence of La Burgondie. Courageous, confident and loyal. A forward-thinking, like-minded group of individuals who are fiercely proud of their Burgundian roots, their beautiful region and their wines. The same wines, produced using environmentally friendly farming methods, which are evocative of the hard-working co-operative-winemaker families who give their all, and have done so for generations.

The village of Mercurey is situated in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise and is one of the largest winegrowing appellations of Burgundy. The vines grow at altitudes between 230 and 320 meters in limestone-marl soils on slopes facing the midday sun. Mercurey benefits from cooler climatic conditions than the Côte de Beaune, thus ripening is later but cellaring potential is very good.
