Producer: Maison Pagnotta

Wine: 2018 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos Voyens

Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes: "A note of mocha fills and dominates the nose on this wine. Mocha also characterizes the sonorous palate, which is roasted and mellow at the same time. This roasted note broadens out the cherry fruit on the palate, but this is counteracted by freshness." - Anne Krebiehl MW Wine Enthusiast

Food Pairings: Mercurey brings out the best from beef rib steaks, or joints of beef or lamb, braised or in sauce. Roast pork is well suited to its rich aromas, as are poultry-based stews. As for the cheeseboard, this wine harmonizes equally well with either mild, soft cheeses or aged versions.

Cellaring: Drink now or hold until 2025

MAISON PAGNOTTA

Chagny, Burgundy

Umberto Pagnotta established the domain in the 1970s in Rully, exclusively producing wines from 12 acres of vine within this appellation.

Today, the vineyards span over 82 acres and craft delightful wines across Bouzeron, Santenay, Mercurey, Givry, Maranges and regional appellations such as Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. Now situated in the heart of Chagny, on the border of Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine Pagnotta was purchased by the Chanzy group located in Bouzeron in 2017. The Chanzy group's total holdings comprise 197 acres, covering over three districts.

Throughout the year, great attention is devoted to the vineyards to respect the environment and produce disease-free grapes that ripen perfectly at harvest time. The vinification process involves de-stemming, meticulous sorting, light pneumatic pressing, and temperature-controlled tanks to ensure optimum quality. The vineyards are now certified at High Environmental Value (HVE) level 3.

Mercurey is a village appellation located in the Côte Chalonnaise region (Saône-et-Loire) and is comprised of 32 Premiers Cru Climats.  Producing communes are Mercurey and Saint-Martin-sous-Montaigu.  In this appellation, the words Premier Cru and/or the name of the Climat of origin may be added to the name Mercurey for wines grown on Premier Cru plots.

Mercurey, located in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise (7.45 miles from Chalon-sur-Saône) is one the foremost appellations of Bourgogne. Protected from moisture-bearing winds, tucked away in its hillsides or stretched along the aptly-named “Golden Valley” the vineyards stretch as far as the neighboring village of Saint-Martin-sous-Montaigu. The AOC was created in 1923.  Reunited by means of the Brotherhood of the Chanteflûte, created in 1971, the local winemakers are dedicated to enjoying the wines of Mercurey and promoting them to the world.
