Mercurey Les Vignes Blanches Qvevris Red 2019,

Frédéric Cossard

This Mercurey Les Vignes Blanches Qvevris 2019, by Frédéric Cossard, is a pure and unique interpretation of this exceptional Côte Chalonnaise appellation. Through an entirely natural approach and qvevri vinification, it reveals a rare expression of Pinot Noir, marked by finesse and depth.

The Mercurey AOC enhanced by qvevri vinification

Located in Burgundy, the Mercury AOC is one of the most prestigious in the Côte Chalonnaise, renowned for its reds elegant and structured. Here, Frédéric Cossard goes further by exploring an ancestral method: fermentation and aging in buried terracotta jars, as in Georgia. This bold choice promotes gentle micro-oxygenation, giving the wine a velvety texture and great aromatic purity.

A natural, full-bodied, and refined Pinot Noir

Produced through whole-bunch maceration, this Mercurey reveals a complex nose of morello cherries, black fruits, and delicate notes of roasted. On the palate, it impresses with its sap, fullness and density, supported by tannins of remarkable finesse. The clay-limestone terroir provides balance and freshness, while a year of aging in qvevri refines its airy character.

A wine for gastronomy and aging

Served at 16-18°C, this Mercurey will pair wonderfully with a grilled rib-eye steak, beef fillet en croute, or roast duck. Natural, with no added sulfites, it can be enjoyed now for its vibrant fruit or aged for 5 to 10 years to reveal its full complexity. A rare and sought-after wine, a testament to the talent of Frédéric Cossard.
