Domaine de Suremain
ドメーヌ・ド・シュルマン
Profile
コート・シャロネーズ地区のメルキュレ村に本拠を置くドメーヌ・ド・シュルマンは、この村のテロワールを精緻に表現する造り手である。特筆すべきは、所有する全5つの畑がすべてメルキュレのプルミエ・クリュ(一級畑)で構成されている点だ。総面積約11ヘクタールに及ぶ自社畑は、3.2ヘクタールと最大の面積を誇るラ・ボンデュを筆頭に、アン・サズネ、クロ・レヴェック、レ・クロワショ、そしてレ・クレと、それぞれ個性豊かな区画を有している。グラン・クリュこそ持たないものの、村内の多様な一級畑を細分化して所有することで、メルキュレという土地が秘めるポテンシャルを多角的に引き出している。一貫して一級畑のワイン造りに特化した、この地を代表する実力派ドメーヌのひとつといえる。

History
Domaine de Suremain is based in Mercurey, the Côte Chalonnaise's largest appellation — a commune that produces primarily red Pinot Noir alongside a smaller share of Chardonnay. The Suremain family has held land in Mercurey across multiple generations, accumulating a portfolio anchored entirely in Premier Cru plots.
Winemaking Approach
All six parcels in the domaine's holdings carry Premier Cru status, an unusually concentrated positioning for Mercurey. The estate works across the appellation's better-regarded lieux-dits — La Bondué and En Sazenay together account for over six hectares — with domaine bottling the consistent practice.
