"Les Champs Martin" historically referred to the fields where cereal crops were grown. They belonged to the Martin family—one of the most common surnames in the Saône-et-Loire region. Our Mercurey "Les Champs Martin" is a wine produced from a Chardonnay-planted plot within the estate, located in the commune of Mercurey at the "Les Champs Martin" site.

Situated at an altitude of 400 meters with a southeast exposure, the 0.34-hectare vineyard features clay-limestone soil.

"Living soils giving rise to wines that reflect their terroir!"

In response to current climate challenges, we are implementing a responsible, sensitive, and innovative approach to viticulture that integrates concepts from organic farming, agroforestry, and agroecology.

The grapes are hand-harvested and pressed directly, followed by cold settling for 24 hours. The juice is then transferred to barrels for alcoholic fermentation, followed by a 10-month maturation period.

Founded in the mid-19th century by Charles de Saint-Rapt, Domaine Gouffier is located in Fontaines,

a village known for its springs situated in wine country, bordering Mercurey and Rully. In the 1950s, Madeleine

Gouffier expanded the estate into Mercurey. Her son Jérôme Gouffier, a naval engineer by training, inherited the property in 1993 and developed the business of selling bottled wines.

A neighbor of the Gouffier family, Frédéric Gueugneau has been writing a new chapter for this historic Côte Chalonnaise estate since 2012, combining estate production with a winemaker-led merchant business.
