Domaine Michel Briday - Les Vaux Mercurey Rouge 2020

Domaine Michel Briday - Les Vaux Mercurey Rouge 2020Since its creation over 40 years ago, the Michel Briday estate has become a gold standard bearer for its village, Rully, and for its wine growing region: the Cte Chalonnaise. In every vintage, Stphane Briday and his wife Sandrine put their winemaking know how, well grounded common sense and intimate knowledge of their terroirs to good use. These are the keys to ensure unique Burgundy wines. This domaine has had a zeal for quality from the very start:

pruning is severe

is in use today

Their vineyards in the Beka’a Valley cover 220 hectares and are planted with cabernet sauvignon

and Chardonnay

7 opens a new era of alcohol-free beverages

They are adding alternative energy sources

and red wines: from mono varietals and blend wines that are “easy to drink” to more complex and grand wines

Ivan’s winemaking started of as a weekend hobby in his garage in-between seeing private patients and shifts at the public hospital

Their whites are crisp

Bousquet discovered his dream terroir

swapping the vitriol of the courtroom for the vineyards of the Strathbogie Ranges

The lofts continue to be used as a key element in the aging of Blandy’s finest wines
