En Primeur | Côte Chalonnaise
The Côte Chalonnaise is home to the group of vineyards directly below Burgundy’s famed Côte d’Or. Just a few miles south of Chassagne Montrachet, you arrive at the village of Rully, which is justly developing a reputation for growing Chardonnay of the highest quality, producing white wines with both volume and charm. Pinot Noir gets its opportunity to shine a few miles further south, and excels particularly in the villages of Mercurey and Givry. Givry consists of just under 400 hectares of vineyards, with a reputation for making suave and graceful Pinot Noirs that goes back to the Middle Ages. The wines show an effortless elegance from the get-go after bottling. The reds of Mercurey are a little more serious in nature, thanks to a number of fault lines in the earth which influence a range of terroir differentiations in style. Here, the more powerful Premiers Crus appreciate a few years of bottle age.
