Tasting notes
"Bursting with scents of pear, peach, orange oil and toasted nuts, the 2018 Mercurey Blanc is medium-bodied, lively and expressive." William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“This white Mercurey is coming from 6 different plots accross the village. The diversity and tipicity of each plot reflect their richness in this white Mercurey. […] Lightly gold colour. Well-balanced and floral nose with white fruits aromas as white peach. The palate is full and rich at the beginning. The wine is very tasty and nicely balanced. Lovely aftertaste.”Chateau de Chamirey
More About The Winery
Built in the early 18th century, Château de Chamirey holds a privileged position overlooking the vineyards of Mercurey in the Côte Chalonnaise. The domaine spans 37 hectares across a mosaic of soils and microclimates, reflecting the diversity and depth of the appellation.
In 1934, the visionary Marquis de Jouennes became one of the first in Mercurey to bottle wines directly at the estate, setting a new standard for quality. His son-in-law, Bertrand Devillard, expanded the domaine further into Mercurey’s finest terroirs, bringing it to its present size of 95 acres (around 37 hectares).
Today, the estate is run by Amaury and Aurore Devillard, the fifth generation of this Burgundian wine family, who continue the legacy of crafting refined, terroir-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that showcase the best of Mercurey.
