Henri de Villamont, Mercurey
Red wine | Mercury AC
Mercurey is one of the five appellations of the Côte Chalonnaise, mainly dedicated to red wine, and therefore to Pinot Noir, since that's the only thing in Burgundy! That of Henri de Villamont is typical, with a quiet elegance, and a tannic structure, which promises very good aging potential.
