The Mercy Dieu comes from all of Domaine Bailly-Reverdy's plots outside of Chavignol. As a result it represents a great range of all the different terroirs of Sancerre – caillottes calcaires -limestone pebbles, terres blanches - white chalky soil, and chailloux - flintstone. About 5% of the total blend is aged in neutral barrels, with the rest aged on its lees for 4 to 5 months in stainless steel.
Domaine Bailly-Reverdy produces classic, letter-perfect Sancerre. The domaine was created in 1988 but the vineyards have been in the family since the turn of the century. The current generation, led by Franck Bailly, and his nephew Aurelien, has continued the family’s tradition and improved upon it with remarkable consistency and quality.
