Its combination of vibrant red-fruit character, subtle oak and the distinctive heritage of the Mercurey appellation makes it an elegant choice for Burgundy enthusiasts seeking both finesse and approachability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright ruby in appearance, this wine opens with inviting aromas of ripe red berries, including raspberry and red cherry, complemented by delicate floral nuances and lightly toasted, wood-derived notes. The palate is soft and well balanced, with a gentle texture, fresh fruit and restrained tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the wine.\n\nThe 12 months of oak ageing add subtle depth and polish rather than dominating the fruit. Enjoyable now for its youthful charm, the 2022 should develop additional savoury and earthy complexity over the next few years when stored in suitable cellar conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced from Pinot Noir in the Mercurey vineyards of the Côte Chalonnaise, the wine reflects the region’s Burgundian limestone and marl-influenced terroirs. Domaine Danjean-Berthoux farms its vineyards using sustainable practices, with a focus on healthy, high-quality grapes and expressing the character of each parcel. The wine is matured for 12 months in oak barrels, approximately 30% of which are new, adding discreet woody and toasted nuances to the fruit-driven style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis elegant Mercurey pairs particularly well with roasted meats such as pork, veal or poultry, as well as roast beef and a carefully selected cheese board. Serve slightly cool, at around 14–16°C, to preserve its freshness and delicate aromatics. Decanting is not essential, but a brief 20–30 minute decant can help open the wine and integrate its oak character, especially when enjoyed in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased in Jambles in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine Danjean-Berthoux has built a long-standing reputation for its Givry and Mercurey wines. Georges Berthoux took over the family business from his father, Charles, in 1958 and gradually expanded the estate by acquiring parcels in Jambles, Givry and Mercurey over nearly four decades. His son-in-law Pascal Danjean joined the domaine in 1993 and assumed full responsibility in 2002; today, Pascal and his son Charles-Antoine represent the third and fourth generations. Their sustainable vineyard work is centred on revealing the character of the estate’s different terroirs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Danjean-Berthoux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54462822154577,"sku":"VDZ-10570069475664-53331315032400","price":43.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/danj05020_1.png?v=1785498658","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/domaine-danjean-berthoux-mercurey-les-chavances-2022","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
