Mercurey Les Champs Michaux Organic Domaine Adélie

Mercurey's name refers to an ancient temple built by the Romans to honour the god Mercury. With its surface area of 1,600 acres, 85 'village' appellations and 32 Premier Crus, Mercurey is the largest appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise. In 2005, Albert Bichot's estates expanded into this region wih the creation of Domaine Adélie, an estate with more than 12 acres of vines. Located at an average altitude of 345 metres, the vines in the 'Champs Michaux' plot are planted on a plateau where the soil contains a particularly high proportion of clay, but where there are also wide bands of limestone rock close to the surface. These are the perfect conditions for Chardonnay and this wine is no different. Expect an elegant white featuring notes of white fruit along with a discrete hint of oak with lovely length on the palate. It makes for a great pair for grilled fish and seafood as well as white meats.
