Red wine form the Côte de Beaune - Pommard | Château du Val de Mercy, France

Côte de Beaune Auxerrois

	Auxey-Duresses This Pinot is grown on one of our oldest vineyard parcels producing a wine with an intense yet elegant bouquet of small red fruit. This fruit is also expressed on the palate where it blends harmoniously with surprisingly grainy tannins. In short, this is a Pinot Noir in its purest of forms.
	Volnay Premier Cru This Volnay Premier Cru, originating just south of Beaune on clay and limestone soil, will delight you with its scents of wild red-berried fruit ranging from cherries to blackberries. This is a smooth, elegant wine with great finesse on the palate. The robe is a deep, intense ruby colour and the nose is deliciously fresh.
	Pommard The wine is the absolute expression of the terroir it is grown on. The vines are old and flourish in their location in the upper part of the village. Nothing equals such conditions for producing small grapes which grow to reach their full maturity. The result is a distinguished wine which will reveal some of its charms early on, however we recommend waiting a little longer for greater sophistication.
	Volnay This wine is traditionally considered as having feminine qualities, particularly compared to Pommard wines. Boasting a ruby robe, both the bouquet and palate of this wine are bursting with red fruits (redcurrant, cherry). A pleasant tangy quality gives rise to soft spice aromas (cinnamon, liquorice) and animal notes with maturity.
	Savigny lès Beaune Grown between the Corton hill and the village of Beaune, our Savigny boasts a deep cherry-red robe and a bouquet of small red and black fruits (raspberry, blackcurrant) and flowers (violets). In the mouth, this wine is tannic and powerful with its body and roundness bringing it balance.
	Chorey lès Beaune These vines enjoy a clay and limestone soil with limestone-marl alluvium upon sandy bedrock. Our Pinot Noir is of a delicate variety producing a rich, intense and strong-coloured wine with moderate tannins and good ageing potential.
	Côte de Beaune-Villages This AOC (Registered Designation of Origin) dates from 1937 and extends, in red wine from the Pinot Noir grape, over 14 villages in the Côte de Beaune.
