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.
