About the domain :
Extract from the article Terre de Vins November 2021: Vignobles Mercadier, a Sauternes success storyThe Sauternes appellation is undergoing a major transformation, with the aim of offering more accessible, easily digestible wines without losing any of their wonderful aromatic complexity.
