Mercurey "Le Vallon Blanc"
The wines of Mercurey have earned this village a global reputation, with white wines making up only around 15% of the appellation and offering something particularly distinctive. “Le Vallon Blanc” refers to a group of white parcels within a single valley, literally “the white valley”, where clay-limestone soils and a sunny southern exposure yield wines of harmonious structure and freshness.
Plot - 1.78 ha. These vines thrive in the northern part of the Mercurey appellation, across three adjoining climats: Montots, Bussières and Mauvarennes.

"Subtle flavors of peach, apple and oak spice mingle in this balanced and stylish white. The silky texture adds to the overall appeal, and this persists on the delicate aftertaste. Salty finish."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2026
