Tasting note
Approachable Champagne, exhaling beguiling aromas of dried apricots, raisins, toasted almonds and hazelnuts, followed by a mouthful of apple, pear and a trace of menthol.
Viticulture
Based at the far end of Avenue de Champagne in Reims you can actually see the South facing vines spanning out in front of you. Founded by Eugine Mercier excavating cellars back in 1871. The ambition to produce good value Champagne for drinking every day. Owned by LVMH the house style is fresh and clean.
Vinification
Mercier is produced from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier using the classic Champagne method with fermentation in the bottle. The winery is very modern and produces a style which is fresh, vibrant and great value.
Food Match
Smoked salmon and creme fraiche with a glass of Mercier will transform your Sunday brunch to the sublime. Also really well paired to shrimp and savoury tarts.
