Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service.

Aubert and Paméla de Villaine bought this estate in Bouzeron in 1971. Their grandson Pierre de Benoist has been responsible for the management and winemaking since he arrived in 2001. Certified organic since 1986, the company has actively participated in the maintenance and promotion of the local grape Aligoté. Almost 70,000 bottles of Bouzeron of remarkable quality and with a proven aptitude for aging are produced every year. By purchasing 10 hectares in Rully, the estate is now present in six renowned premier Cru.

Les Montots is a location facing south and characterized by quite pronounced slopes, where Pinot Noir grapes grow. The wine is fermented in wooden vats for 18 days and then aged in barrels. It is a true Mercurey, a robust wine that gradually opens with age.

Mercurey Les Montots is a powerful wine with intense aromas of black fruits, preceding subtle animal and spicy notes. In the mouth, it is rich and elegant with silky tannins. The lively acidity gives it a good balance, and the aftertaste evokes wild berries. Try it with duck or poultry game. It also pairs well with soft cheeses like Camembert and Vacherin.
