The winery has been established for over a century in the heart of Burgundy, in the beautiful village of Mercurey, the flagship appellation of Côte Chalonnaise with one hundred years of history and passion for four generations of winemakers.
Gabriel Tremeaux founded the winery in the early twentieth century.
A this time, wine was only representing a part of his global production, supplemented by breeding and cereal crop.
Then the trauma of the First World War was terrible, and Gabriel, who had been prisoner for five long years, had to leave his wife Martha drive the farm.
Fortunately, she turned out to be a real "farmer woman", undertaking all the work of the vineyard, horse plowing, cut and handpicking.
During the following decades, Gabriel and Martha formed a passionate tandem at the head of Domaine Tremeaux.
Their son George gradually took over in the middle of the century, turning the winery into the age of modernity and quality: arrival of the tractor in the vineyard and focus exclusively on the production of wine AOC Mercurey.
Georges made such a good work in the vineyards that his son Gilles, now head of the Estate, was able to focus on the work in the wine cellar, developing the use of oak barrels for the aging of wine.
Since 1998, Gilles teamed up with his son Nicolas, whose dynamism and kindness make customers happy to see that the taste and quality are here to stay at Domaine Tremeaux!
Between Beaune and Cluny, in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, Mercurey is one of the most important wine appellations of Burgundy, both for its size and for the reputation of its wines.
The Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) "Mercurey" was established in 1923.
The vineyards of ten hectares is located exclusively on the soils of the appellation Mercurey.
The vineyards are located on plots - or climates - in an ideal Southeast exposure to sunshine and an excellent clay-limestone, typical of the great vineyards of Burgundy.
The various plots delivers: "Les Croichots" and "Les Naugues" for the Mercurey Premier Cru; "Les doués" "Le Closeau", "Les Vignes Blanches" for the Mercurey Village.
This is an excellent Mercurey, with fine balance from nose to palate. The Pinot Noir shows all its crispness and fruitiness with a very fine length that tends towards acidity !
