6 Bottle Discovery Set

Our white wine of Burgundy comes from our 2.5-hectare plot Les Rochelles, which enjoys a south-westerly exposure.
100% Chardonnay grape variety, the 1 hectare is planted with 15-year-old vines, while the rest of the plot is planted with vines that are 60 years old or more.
The soil is composed of sandy marl and marl-limestone. The specificity of this Climat of Mercurey lies in the late ripening of its vines. It gives rise to wines that are rather typical in the manner of Chablis.
Our Mercurey Les CAUDROYES Blanc («caudroye» means in Old French «hazelnut») is the result of a very calcareous soil which flourishes sheltered from the sun, since exposed to the north, and enjoys a beautiful freshness despite the rising temperatures.
The deep soil contains large stones derived from marl and supports vines of an average age of 40 years, 50 ares of which were planted in 2013.
A climat located in a hollow, whose anticipated potential has been fully revealed through hard work, Les Plantenays benefits from alternating exposure: one part of the plot basks in the morning sun while the other enjoys it at sunset.
Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, the vines are a great mix of ages (30-35 year-old vines on 1 hectare, 9 year-old vines on 80 ares and 5 year-old vines on 60 ares), and thrive on stony, marly, soft limestone soil. They mature late and produce lively wines with good tension. CLOS LA MARCHE MONOPOLE is a red wine from a 3.48 hectare monopole with south-east exposure.
This Climat of Burgundy owes its name to the limestone slab, raised by tectonic plate movements, on which it is situated. The soil, hard and barely 30 centimetres deep, consists of 50 ares of marl, at the top of the Clos.
100% from Pinot Noir grape variety, the vineyard CLOS LA MARCHE MONOPOLE features 60-year-old vines across nearly 2 hectares, with the remaining 1.5 hectares replanted more recently. This unique terroir produces wines of remarkable finesse, elegance, and delicacy.
Notre vin sous l’appellation Mercurey « LES CAUDROYES Rouge » («caudroye» means in Old French «hazelnut») is the result of a very calcareous soil which flourishes sheltered from the sun, since exposed to the north, and enjoys a beautiful freshness despite the rising temperatures.
The deep soil contains large stones derived from marl and supports vines of an average age of 40 years, 50 ares of which were planted in 2013.
The 1er Cru Les Vasées est l’un des plus beaux terroirs de Mercurey en Bourgogne. Il provient de notre parcelle de 1,7 ha exposée sud-est. Il tire son nom de la forme courbe en couloir du sol, résultat de l’érosion par l’eau. Celui-ci est marneux, profond, peu calcaire, chargé en petits cailloux d’un diamètre de 5 cm environ.
The vines are around forty years old, 100% Pinot Noir, and reach maturity early, which is typical of the area.
This produces wines that are generally powerful and a little later in their development.

For the Chardonnay grape varieties, the vines are harvested manually. The pressing is done delicately, very slowly and with the whole harvest. The natural 100% fermentation is done using indigenous yeasts, from our terroirs. Aging in underground cellars lasts 12 months, without batonnage. It is produced in French oak barrels, new for 31% of them, selected from 4 additional coopers. Racking is done by gravity to preserve the quality of the wine.
For Pinot Noir grape varieties, the vines are harvested manually, and we use a whole cluster winemaking method (up to 40% of whole bunches). The pressing process lasts between 13 and 14 days, during which takes place between 4 and 6 grape stomping and some remontages. The 100% natural fermentation takes place using indigenous yeasts from our terroirs. Aging, in underground cellars, lasts between 12 and 13 months. It is made in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new, from 4 complementary coopers.

"Crisp nose of orchard fruit, such as forgotten apples and quince. Juicy notes of peaches and white nectarines linked to the spicy framework of white pepper and lime zest.
Smoky, finely chiselled palate, delicate sensation of flavours expressing their purity and fragility, minerality as the centrepiece of a skilfully balanced architecture. Roasted scallops, buckwheat crisps, Dieppoise sauce with caviar and mussels, leek fondue with tarragon"
Notes de dégustation LES ROCHELLES millésime 2022 par Quentin Loisel, Chef Sommelier d’un restaurant deux étoiles à Paris.

A full, fleshy nose of white flowers such as acacia and elder flower, a framework of ripe lemons, surrounded by a heady note of encaustic which, combined with the comforting smell of farmhouse bread and raw cream, creates a slender, well-constructed whole.
The palate is more tractable than the nose suggests, fine and taut, with the freshness of the citrus fruit enveloping the powdery chalk and underlining the crunch of the lovage to develop the superb sapidity of this wine.
Rye bread with fromage frais, smoked herring, green coulis like a vinaigrette, julienne of green apple".
Notes de dégustation LES CAUDROYES millésime 2022 par Quentin Loisel, Chef Sommelier d’un restaurant deux étoiles à Paris.

"Powerfully fat and round on the nose, with aromas of roasted wheat, wood, peanut butter, lentils and chickpeas. Rich almond and cashew nut aromas combined with the liveliness of celery.
A rich, generous flavour, the expression of a terroir with strong character, exacerbated by a racy style, with a focus on structure and fatness. The superb length on the palate adds finesse and lightness.
Goat's cheese soufflé, buttered spinach, celery and parsnips, mustard leaf salad."
Notes de dégustation LES PLANTENAYS millésime 2022 par Quentin Loisel, Chef Sommelier d’un restaurant deux étoiles à Paris.

"Dark southern red fruits nose, arbutus, cranberry and pomegranate, sandalwood and rich thick black pepper aromas with smoked habanero chili and laurel infused seasalt. Mellow mouthfeel with obvious high mineral tension. The gentle bitterness blended with a juicy taste and firm yet polished tannins creates a harmonious wine heading towards a wonderful salinity. Red tuna tartar, feta cheese, pomegranate, whole grain pasta and samphire."
Notes de dégustation CLOS LA MARCHE MONOPOLE millésime 2020 par Quentin Loisel, Chef Sommelier d’un restaurant deux étoiles à Paris.

"Subtle nose of candied black fruit such as blackcurrant and wild blackberry, underlined by the richness of Iranian black lemon and thyme flower.
Round and delicious on the palate, though still in search of balance. The vegetal framework promises fine jewellery bitters, while the delicacy of the rose and raspberry juice refine the structure for a fine balance in the making. Milk-fed lamb aumônières with thyme and roasted plums with garrigue honey"
Notes de dégustation LES CAUDROYES ROUGE millésime 2022 par Quentin Loisel, Chef Sommelier d’un restaurant deux étoiles à Paris.

LES ROCHELLES is the perfect accompaniment to lobster with beurre blanc, snail persillade or fresh goat's cheese. It also goes very well with the flavours of a millefeuille cake.
LES CAUDROYES Blanc is a subtle accompaniment to marbled ham or salmon sashimi. Matured goat's cheese and exotic fruit sorbet all of which are enhanced by the freshness of this wine.
CLOS LA MARCHE MONOPOLE will express all its aromatic character alongside a pâté en croûte, a piece of Charolais beef, or a Cîteaux cheese, and it can beautifully accompany a chocolate fondant.
LES CAUDROYES Rouge will magnificently enhance earthy flavours such as a mushroom pie or beef bourguignon.
On the cheese side, a Brillat-Savarin would be the perfect match, and to finish on a sweet, slightly acidic note, a red fruit crumble is just the thing.
The 1er cru LES VASÉES will pair well with eggs in meurette or veal sweetbreads. And to avoid choosing between cheese and dessert, it perfectly complements a truffle Brie de Meaux and a Tarte Tatin.
