The Mercurey Blanc from Domaines Faiveley is a bright green Bourgogne originating from the renowned region of Burgundy in France. This white wine is known for its fresh and lively character, and is primarily produced with Chardonnay grapes, which thrive in the Mercurey vineyards, famous for their calcareous-clay soil that contributes to a unique profile of minerality in the wine.

On the nose, Mercurey Blanc unfolds an elegant bouquet of floral aromas, with dominant notes of white flowers and nuances of white-fleshed fruits, such as peach and ripe apple. On the palate, the wine presents itself as balanced, with a fresh acidity that harmonizes well with the richness of the fruit and fades into a persistent and pleasantly mineral finish.

Ideal as an aperitif or paired with delicate fish dishes, seafood, and soft cheeses, this wine promises to be an excellent table companion, adding a touch of French elegance to any occasion. The Domaines Faiveley winery, renowned for its dedication to producing high-quality wines, manages the vineyard with sustainable techniques that respect nature and the environment, thus ensuring a product of exceptional purity and expression of the terroir.

Winery history
The estate has been part of the Faiveley family since its origins: the original holdings were established in the 19th century in Nuits‑Saint‑Georges and the family progressively acquired parcels in Burgundy’s finest climats. Over the generations the domaine expanded its holdings by adding Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards and has maintained a dual role as both a domaine producer and a négociant. Today Erwan and Eve Faiveley lead the estate; in recent years the group has also extended its geographic presence and has begun transitioning to more environmentally friendly practices.

Highlighting the terroir and the identity of the individual climats, the family adopts an approach focused on fruit quality, agronomic practices increasingly aimed at sustainability, and the use of technologies and experimentation to reduce environmental impact while preserving the character and expressiveness of the wines.
