1er cru

"The improvement is remarkable and once again places the 2021 vintage among the top three in the appellation (B+D)."

“It displays a certain refinement compared to the Mercurey commune-level wine. The palate is complex, refined, and delicate. ” (The Bettane + Desseauve Guide). This Mercurey 1er Cru, with its beautiful, brilliant ruby color, reveals a very aromatic nose with notes of dark fruit and flowers, accompanied by minerality. Refined and elegant, the palate is generous and well-structured.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100

Rated estate (2024 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

It displays a touch more class than the Mercurey with the municipal appellation. On the palate, it is complex, elegant, and delicate.

About the estate:

The Suremain estate is probably one of the most surprising ones we’ve encountered in recent years. Blessed with some of Mercurey’s finest Premier Cru vineyards, Loïc de Suremain, with the help of his parents Yves and Marie-Hélène, manages the estate’s 18 hectares. A particular focus on respecting the terroirs results in Mercurey wines with distinct characteristics and nuances. Loïc, passionate about viticulture, strives to develop wines with greater fruit expression and consistency, grounded in a deep understanding of his soils. The winery has been completely renovated and expanded; the wines are becoming increasingly precise and score perfectly in our blind tastings. The progress is remarkable and once again places the 2021 vintage among the top three in the appellation.
