Domaine Charton

Vincent Charton is quite simply the most exciting producer in Mercurey. Having been at wine school with Amélie Berthaut, he is part of the exciting new generation of winemakers who are breathing new life into sleeping appellations! Like many of his peers Vincent tries to keep his berries whole for much longer than his father did, helping to accentuate the aromatics and create tannins of a silky, seamless nature. In an often stern appellation like Mercurey this is great, as the wines become more noble and aristocratic and allow themselves to show the real potential of the appellation. You might be able to find slightly cheaper Mercureys but you probably won’t find any better ones!
