Mercury's name refers to an ancient temple built by the Romans to honor the god Mercury.
With its surface area of ​​1600 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 with the creation of Domaine Adélie an estate with more than 12 acres of vines.

Located at an average altitude of 345 meters the vines in the "Champs Michaux" plot are planted on a plateau where the soil contains a particularly high proportion of clay but where there are also wide bands of limestone rock that are very close to the surface in areas. The Chardonnay grape is perfectly adapted to such conditions.
