Hautes Côtes de Beaune Château de Mercey 2020
The Hautes Côtes de Beaune Château de Mercey 2020 is a red wine produced from the elegant blue Pinot Noir grape. The Château de Mercey estate encompasses vineyards situated across the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise, and this particular wine is bottled in Nuits-Saint-Georges by Antonin Rodet under the Appellation Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Contrôlée. Pinot Noir is the dominant grape variety in this area, though it is also widely cultivated in other renowned regions such as Champagne, Germany, Oregon, and California.
Burgundy, located in eastern France, is a historic wine region shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped its countless terroirs. The region is celebrated for its finely meshed system of climats and limestone soils. Within this prestigious region lies the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, a regional appellation situated on the plateaus and higher slopes west of the main Côte de Beaune escarpment. Spanning more than 20 communes, the vineyards here are planted at high elevations ranging from 350 to 500 meters above sea level. The 2020 vintage from this landscape achieved a score of 91 points, recognized as being ripe, rich, and of excellent quality.
The Hautes Côtes de Beaune experiences a semi-continental climate. Due to the higher altitude, the vineyards generally encounter slightly cooler temperatures compared to the lower slopes of the Côte de Beaune. The soil is predominantly composed of Jurassic limestone mixed with marl and clay. This combination of a cooler microclimate and well-drained, mineral-rich earth provides highly specific growing conditions for the vines, resulting in terroir-driven wines that closely reflect their high-altitude origins.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Burgundy
Burgundy in eastern France was shaped by medieval monks who mapped the area's countless terroirs. The region grows almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and has turned terroir into an art form with its finely meshed system of climats. From Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, the limestone soil yields some of the world's most sought-after and elegant wines.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
