Tasting notes
The 2023 Mercurey Blanc from Château de Chamirey is a bright and expressive Chardonnay, reflecting the precision and charm of the Côte Chalonnaise. Pale straw-yellow in the glass, it opens with an aromatic bouquet of white flowers—lilac—alongside notes of ripe peach, pear, and a subtle hint of menthol spice.
On the palate, the wine is both fresh and generous, combining a velvety texture with a lively acidity that brings balance and lift. A delicate saline edge underscores the mineral backbone, leading to a clean, persistent finish.
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.
