The estate

Château d'Étroyes

The village of Mercurey, located in the heart of Burgundy's Côte Chalonnaise, has a history steeped in winemaking that dates back to the Gallo-Roman period. Its name is believed to derive from 'Mercurius,' the Roman god of commerce and travelers, hinting at its ancient role as a trading post for wine. The appellation's reputation grew significantly in the 19th century, becoming synonymous with rich, full-bodied Pinot Noir. Château d'Étroyes, a prominent estate within the Mercurey appellation, has cultivated its vineyards with dedication for generations. The estate is known for its commitment to traditional Burgundian viticulture, focusing on expressing the unique terroir of its parcels. This includes meticulous vineyard management and a gentle approach to winemaking, aiming to craft wines that reflect the purity of the fruit and the minerality of the soil. The specific vineyard 'Clos des Chavannes' mentioned on the label is a testament to the importance of single-vineyard wines in Burgundy. These 'crus' or 'climats' are small, distinct plots of land with their own unique microclimate and soil composition, which the château endeavors to showcase in its wines. This focus on specific terroirs allows for a nuanced understanding and appreciation of the variations within the Mercurey appellation itself.
