Mercurey 1er Cru “Les Croichots” Pinot Noir

We find ourselves in the heart of Burgundy, the land of origin of wines of the highest quality. Here, between Beaune and Cluny, in the heart of what is known as the Côte Chalonnaise, lies the village of Mercurey, which is also one of the most important wine appellations in the region, in terms of the size and reputation of its wines. The Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) 'Mercurey' was founded in 1923. Domaine Trémeaux also belongs to this territory and offers here an interesting '1er Cru' Mercurey called Les Croichots. With the indication 1er Cru, in Burgundy, and in the AOC of Mercurey, wines made from Pinot Noir grapes from vineyards considered among the best in the region are classified. Specifically, this Burgundy red is the product of traditional vinification followed by a period of maturation in wood of at least 10 months, of which about 20% is new. In the glass, it has a beautiful ruby red colour. The nose reveals a powerful aroma of dark fruit, such as blueberry and blackberry. In the mouth, however, it reveals a pleasantly structured wine, with a bright acidity that gives it freshness. Excellent length and, above all, excellent ageing potential. It is no coincidence that Mercurey wines are prized by collectors and enthusiasts the world over. On the table, it accompanies a meat menu.
