Michel Picard
Michel Picard Domaine Voarick Mercurey 1er Cru Rouge ‘Clos du Paradis’
The ruby red wine has a concentrated bouquet with aromas of ripe blackberries and blackcurrants, and a pleasant spicy sensation. The taste has a subtle acidity that harmonizes nicely with the fruit and the already soft tannins. The aromas from the bouquet are repeated, but aromatic touches of cherry and laurel are added with an elegant and dark aftertaste
Description
Michel Picard
Settled today in Chassagne-Montrachet, the Domaine Famille Picard was founded in 1951 by Louis Félix Picard, then owner of 2 hectares of vines in the commune of Chagny. Michel Picard, his son, will join him a few years later.
It was at the age of 15 that Michel Picard left school at the request of his father to come and help him with his daily tasks. A symbol illustrating this amazing journey, already steeped in a desire to go further; a Peugeot scooter is parked today at the entrance of Château de Chassagne-Montrachet. For years, at the wheel of his scooter Michel Picard set off to explore the Burgundy vineyard and its key players. In the early 1970s, he took over the family vineyard, supported by Liliane, his wife, also from a winemaking family.
In 1986, he acquired his first estate, Château de Davenay, particularly known for its Montagny Premier Cru Clos Chaudron.
In 1997, Michel took over the estate of Château de Chassagne-Montrachet.Through passion, courage and stubbornness, Michel Picard has built over the years a family winery recognized by his peers. Today, 140 hectares of vines spread over 4 areas between the Côte Chalonnaise and the Côte de Beaune, which Francine Picard manages entirely today.
