    Tips

    Mercier is a popular champagne company, founded in 1858 by Eugène Mercier. Mercier has always used advertising designed to entice the masses to drink champagne. In 1889, Mercier presented a cask at the World's Fair in Paris that could hold 210,000 bottles of champagne. In 1900, thousands of visitors to the World's Fair, champagne glasses in hand, were allowed to float over Paris in a large balloon. At the Espace Mercier in Épernay, you can visit the giant cask and ride an electric train through part of the 18-kilometer cellars carved into the limestone cliffs.

      Mercier owns 225 hectares of vineyards in 20 crus, but also buys harvests from contract growers to supplement its own grape harvest. Some of the grapes come from the less-regarded departments of Aisne and Aube, located a considerable distance from Épernay. This allows the wine to be produced more cheaply than that of other Champagne houses. Mercier champagnes cost half or less than those of Champagne houses like Taittinger and Moët & Chandon.

      Mercier sells approximately 7 million bottles of champagne annually.

      The Mercier Champagne House is part of Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH). This holding company owns several Champagne houses, namely Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Canard-Duchêne, Ruinart, and Henriot.

        Champagnes
        Mercier Blanc de Noir is described as the house's iconic champagne. It contains only Pinot Noir (80%) and Pinot Menunier (20%), hence the name.
        Mercier Brut contains 20% Chardonnay and a relatively high proportion of Pinot Meunier, which prevents the champagne from aging optimally. This champagne is sold young and should be consumed quickly.
        Mercier Brut Millésimé contains 50% Chardonnay, primarily from the Montagne de Reims. The grapes used are from a single vintage.
        Mercier Brut Rosé, a rosé champagne, is made of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Pinot Meunier.
        Mercier Cuvée Boulle d'Or is the prestige cuvée. Formerly sold under the name Réserve de l'Émpereur, this champagne, which is only produced in small quantities, contains 60% Chardonnay. The bottle bears no vintage.
        Pinot Meunier produces a lively, fresh, and floral champagne. The vine is winter-hardy, and the grape ripens early in the autumn, increasing the chances of a good harvest in the northern Champagne region. The fact that the wine from this grape doesn't age as well isn't a problem for a house like Mercier; they prefer an accessible, fresh, and affordable champagne.[2]
