For decades, Mercurey and Rully have ranked among the most renowned appellations of the Côte Chalonnaise, considered the historic cradle of Burgundy wines. Founded in 2016, Domaine de la Bressande covers over 70 hectares of vineyards, mainly in these two emblematic villages, as well as in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, producing wines that combine quality, finesse, structure and elegance.
Parcel selection, yield control, sustainable vineyard management, and meticulous monitoring from vine to glass: these are all commitments to responsible and lasting viticulture. Certified HVE since the 2020 vintage, the estate has eliminated herbicides and favors biocontrol products to reduce phytosanitary inputs. The entire team is dedicated to a societal and environmental approach focused on the future.
Grape Variety100% Chardonnay.
Tasting notesColour: elegant golden yellow.
Nose: showing citrus fruits and exotic fruits flavours such as pineapple, pleasantly carried by an elegant wood.
Palate: the attack is mineral on exotic aromas (pineapple again). A wine that is both ample and lively with a tension specific from the terroir expression. The finish is long with a nice persistence on citrus aromas.
Food and wine pairingWill be perfect paired with cold meats, fine fish and seafood, but also hot starters, white meat in sauce and dry goat cheeses.
Serving suggestionsServe ideally between 12° and 14°C / 54° and 57°F.
Ageing potential5 years in average.
