2023 Vincent & Jean-Pierre Charton Mercurey Clos de la Chiquette

The 2023 Vincent & Jean-Pierre Charton Mercurey Clos de la Chiquette is a compelling Burgundy red that brings the character of Mercurey into sharp focus. Sourced from one of the Côte Chalonnaise’s most respected appellations, it offers a polished, terroir-driven expression of Pinot Noir with both freshness and depth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this should show the classic translucent ruby hue of young Burgundy, with brightness and clarity. The nose is typically lifted and elegant, opening on red cherry, wild strawberry, and raspberry, with subtle floral tones, spice, and a light earthy edge. On the palate, expect a finely textured wine with supple tannins, lively acidity, and a balance of red-fruited charm and mineral precision. Mercurey can deliver impressive structure for its class, and this cuvée should have enough concentration to age gracefully over the next few years while remaining enjoyable in its youth.

Production
Clos de la Chiquette comes from Mercurey in Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise, an area known for producing Pinot Noir with a more rustic, structured profile than many nearby villages, while still retaining finesse. The wine is shaped by cool-climate conditions and the region’s limestone and clay soils, which help preserve freshness and give the wine its mineral backbone. Specific harvest and vinification details are not provided.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile Burgundy red for dishes such as roast chicken, duck breast, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, or pork tenderloin with herbs. Serve slightly cool, ideally around 15–17°C, and consider decanting young bottles for 20–30 minutes to let the aromatics open up.

Producer
Vincent & Jean-Pierre Charton are associated with traditional, quality-focused winemaking in Mercurey, one of the most important communes of the Côte Chalonnaise. Their wines are valued for their authentic regional character and careful expression of vineyard sites, with Mercurey’s reputation built largely on producers like these who continue to showcase the appellation’s depth and refinement.
