Mercurey's name refers to an ancient temple built by the Romans to honour the god Mercury.
With its surface area of 1,600 acres, 85 "village" appellations and 32 Premier Crus, Mercurey is the largest appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise.
In 2005, Albert Bichot's estates expanded into this region wih the creation of Domaine Adélie, an estate with more than 12 acres of vines.
"Les Champs Martin" is located at the heart of a valley, north of Mercurey. The calcareous clay soil lends finesse to the wines that would otherwise be potentially very powerful due to this terroir's full southern exposure.
