Extending Rully to the south, the Mercurey vineyards are planted on marl-limestone soils derived from geological formations of the Upper and Middle Jurassic, with a predominance of the latter, which suits the Pinot noir grape variety. Or perhaps the first part of the word Cara refers to the name Caras/Charas, meaning "heap of stones".
