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

“It displays a touch more finesse than the standard Mercurey. 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 black fruit and flowers, accompanied by minerality. Fine and elegant, the palate is generous and structured.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100

Rated estate (2024 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)

About the wine:

It displays a touch more class than the Mercurey from the same 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 yields Mercurey wines with distinct characteristics and nuances. Loïc, passionate about viticulture, strives to develop wines with greater fruitiness 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.
