Bettane & Desseauve
"According to Bettane & Desseauve 2025, the Suremain estate is one of the most surprising in recent years, and the 2022 vintages are once again among the top three in the Mercurey appellation."
"Powerful and deeply colored, it offers aromas of blackberry and mulberry with notes of earth, smoke, and leather. The texture is firm and concentrated, with plenty of acidity and a finish that lingers impressively on the palate. The grapes come from a 1.3-hectare south-facing plot north of the village, just upstream from Les Naugues. The grapes are destemmed and ferment gently on indigenous yeasts before being aged in barrels for a year. 2025–2035” (Decanter 2024)

Highly aromatic, it opens with a magnificent array of blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries, complemented by notes of iris and peony, with a subtle minerality likely attributable to the terroir

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.
