On the nose, scents of small red fruits mix pleasantly with spicy & woody aromas, which come from the wine being raised traditionally in oak. This wine is very nicely balanced on the palate. Its rich aromas blend marvelously with its tannins, giving a wine which is greedy & full of body. This Cote Chalonnaise village gets its name from the God Mercury (God of Merchants). The story goes that a temple was erected here in honour of this deity. A Roman road called La voie Agrippa (Agrippa's Road) crosses through Mercurey, which in Roman times, linked Chalon-sur-Saone to Autun. As the name of the wine indicates, this clos formerly belonged to the Kings of France. Serve with: Game & red meats. ...

This vineyard neighbours that of La Framboisiere which produces powerful red wines. In the Clos Rochette, the soil is particularly compact & hard to work, being strewn with little rocks, hence the name. Rich & complex white wines are produced here. To maintain all the freshness & quality of the grapes, they are pressed & vinifed on site in Mercurey. The wine is then brought to Nuits-Saint-Georges to be matured. Only a small part of the cuvee is raised in oak barrels for 10 to 12 months, which allows the wine to acquire delicate woody notes without masking the liveliness & the character sought after in the Côte Chalonnaise white wines. This wine has beautiful complex aromas. It is very expressive on the nose with scents of white flowers & spices. There is a wonderful liveliness on the palate to begin with, which is slightly attenuated by the roundness & smoothness from being raised in oak. The mix of tastes works harmoniously to give us a wine of great delicacy. ...

This climat, situated in the heart of Monthelie's Premier Crus, lies on a particularly dry terroir. The rock is so close to the surface that people used to take stones here for construction. Domaine Faiveley acquired this plot in 2007. The 2008 vintage gives us a Monthelie ' Champs Fulliots' which has a beautiful deep ruby colour with violet streaks. The very pleasant nose opens up with spices such as juniper berries & fruits like raspberries & cherries. After a full attack, this wine balances itself out on the palate with its mature & mellow tannins. It's a harmonious wine which is pleasant to taste. ...
