Domaine du Chateau Philippe le Hardi - Mercurey Rouge - Vieilles Vignes2021

RED WINE

Tasting notes

This open and fruity Old Vine Pinot Noir from Mercurey shows red fruits, balanced acidity and soft texture. The ripe red fruits are complex and layered with a crisp, juicy aftertaste. Made from vineyards chosen for their south-eastern exposure and their location in the middle of the hillside in order to obtain optimal maturity and a lot of complexity. The soils are rich in red clays with a marked presence of limestone. This composition gives the wine a lot of power and depth.

Estate

One of Burgundy's largest wine Domain's. Its prestigious heritage, which comprises a remarkable Chateau with a glazed tile roof and 90 hectares of vineyards, is the product of a time-old legacy that is closely tied to the history of the Burgundy wine region. This remarkable chateau, with its varnished tiles, is a spectacular piece of heritage closely tied to the region's history. Its vineyards are split between the Cote d'Or and Cote Chalonnaise. The diversity of its 'climats' results in a rich palette of wines with distinctive styles that reflect the subtleties of the Burgundy varietals.
The estate began its organic conversion in 2021 across its 100 hectares of owned vineyards and has been certified since the summer of 2024. The 2024 vintage is the first produced under organic farming.
