Pierre Olivier | Mercurey

2005

A lovely, rich and mature Chardonnay from the Côte Challonaise region of Burgundy, where the Mercurey wines stand alone in both quality and price. 2005 was a very good vintage in the region and this wine is now at its peak for the next couple of years. Tastes like much more expensive Burgundy. A Bargain.

Our tasting notes

Lemon, straw colour with aromas of honey and a hint of spice. Well made Chardonnay that is maturing beautifully with loads of character. Excellent fruit, weight and balance. Much more than a poor man’s Mersault....

About Mercurey

It is the most important village in the Côte Chalonnaise district of Burgundy. Most of the production is Red wines made from Pinot Noir but a small quantity of unusually scented white wine from Chardonnay is also made. Mercurey produces as much wine as the rest of the Côte Chalonnaise combined.
