Domaine ChartonMercurey Vieilles Vignes 2022

About this wine

This Mercurey from Domaine Charton showcases the beautiful potential of old vine Pinot Noir from the Côte Chalonnaise. It's a wine that delivers authentic Burgundian character without the hefty price tag of its more famous neighbors to the north.

On the nose, expect aromas of ripe red cherries and wild strawberries, with subtle earthy notes and a hint of spice. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins and bright acidity that brings freshness and energy. The old vines add depth and concentration, revealing layers of red fruit complemented by delicate touches of forest floor and a gentle minerality that lingers on the finish.

This Mercurey pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled pork chops, or a classic beef bourguignon. It's also wonderful with mushroom-based dishes or a selection of soft cheeses like Époisses or Brie. Serve at 16-18°C to let the wine express its full aromatic complexity.
