About this product
From the Les Veleys premier cru on deep clay-limestone soils — Bruno Lorenzon's benchmark Mercurey, produced with minimal intervention and low sulphur. The wine shows the authentic depth and complexity that Côte Chalonnaise clay-limestone can achieve: dark cherry, wild strawberry, earthy loam, mushroom, dried herbs, and a chalky mineral backbone that develops beautifully over 8–12 years. One of Mercurey's most compelling value propositions in fine Burgundy.

The wine's mushroom and earthy notes are mirrored in the ragout — a natural Burgundian affinity. Polenta provides texture while Comté adds nutty depth that bridges to the wine's mineral complexity.

Soft, runny Dauphiné cheese with Burgundy — the wine's earthy, farmyard notes bridge to Saint-Marcellin's pungency. Truffle honey connects to the wine's natural mushroom character.
