A family farm of 14 hectares for many generations. Operations have been managed by Mr. Frantz Normand since 1999, but since 2020 his son Antoine has shared management with a view to its future total takeover.
The estate has been HVE level 3 certified since the 2020 campaign. The vines are ploughed exclusively without the use of herbicides. The wines are aged for a minimum of 12 months in barrels with, for certain vintages, blended in stainless steel vats in order to properly homogenize the vintage.
The region of Burgundy, also known as Bourgogne, has a rich and opulent history. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the Grand Duchy of Burgundy reached as far as Belgium and the North Sea, becoming renowned for its riches, culture, and wine. Building on vineyards planted by the Romans and later cultivated by medieval monks, the region established a winemaking legacy that endures today. Despite being geographically small, Burgundy produces some of the most expensive and sought-after wines in the world, its limestone soils lending them a uniquely appetising minerality that sets a Burgundy apart from its peers.
Created in 1936, the Mercurey appellation once gave its name to the region now known as the Côte Chalonnaise, in Burgundy. It produces white wine from Chardonnay, but mostly red wine from Pinot Noir. It benefits from a continental climate, with a typically long, warm summer and a dry autumn.
