Magnum Mercurey Blanc Les Margotons 2014 Cellier aux Moines

Magnum of wine white Mercurey Les Margotons 2014, Domaine du Cellier aux Moines

An architectural jewel of Burgundy's vineyards, the Cellier aux Moines is one of the oldest wine estates in the region. Founded in 1130 by Cistercian monks in Givry, the Cellier and its vineyard enclosure are still preserved. During the French Revolution, the estate was requisitioned and sold to a family who kept it for two centuries, until the Pascal family acquired it in 2004. The Pascal family initiated an extensive restoration program for both the Cellier and the vineyard. They also established a new winery equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to vinify wines with precision while preserving the authenticity of their terroir. Particularly noteworthy are the iconic vineyards: 5 hectares of the famous Clos du Cellier aux Moines, a historic premier cru in Givry, as well as some prestigious plots in Puligny and Chassagne Montrachet. The estate covers 10 hectares, all cultivated using biodynamic methods. Another unique feature is the complete gravity-fed winery on four levels, eliminating the need for pumping the wines. A guiding principle for the quality of the wines is "Simplex Natura" (Let Nature do its work).

This Magnum of wine white Mercurey Les Margotons 2014 from Domaine du Cellier aux Moines benefits from a great white vintage in Burgundy, where the balance, maturity, and natural acidity have brought a lot of class to the whites. This is the case for this white Mercurey which delights us with aromas beautifully aged over time of dried fruits, apricot, honey, and candied citrus. The palate is concentrated and perfectly balanced, with acidity combining wonderfully with buttery and vanilla notes.
