Philippe Milan et Fils, Mercurey

A bright and expressive Mercurey with juicy red fruits at the core. Notes of cherry and cranberry are layered with hints of anise, dried leaves and a subtle earthy spice. The palate is fresh and silky, with soft tannins and a gently tapering finish. Mercurey offers incredible value for red Burgundy, with more depth and structure than many Côte Chalonnaise neighbours, yet without the steep prices of the Côte d'Or.

Domaine Philippe Milan et Fils is based in Chassey-le-Camp, a small village tucked between Santenay and Rully in the Côte Chalonnaise. The estate was founded in the 1950s by Karl-Philippe Milan’s grandfather and today spans 11 hectares, producing both red and white wines with a focus on purity and fruit clarity. Working with minimal intervention in the vineyard and little to no new oak in the cellar, Karl-Philippe champions a style that’s clean, expressive, and honest to its roots. While most of the wines are snapped up in France, a small portion makes it to export - lucky for us.
