Wine Region: Burgundy - France
Grape: 100% Pinot Noir.
Tasting notes:Deep and velvety red colour. Intense nose showing ripe small red berries (raspberries, blueberries) along with a totally integrated oakyness. Great intensity in the mouth, balanced with freshness. The finish is long with a salty touch.
How to Enjoy: The Mercurey rouge Premier Cru « Clos du Roi » will marvelously pair with peppered rib roast, beef filet mignon, lamb shoulder or rack of pork and cheeses as Tomme des Bauges.
About the winery: Built in the early 18th Century, Château de Chamirey has a unique position on the Mercurey vineyard. The Domaine consists in 37 hectares reflecting the diverse soils and micro climates found within the appellation. In 1934, the Marquis de Jouennes, as a forerunner, decides to bottle the wines of Château de Chamirey, at the Domaine. Then, his son-in-law, Bertrand Devillard, carried on his work and extended the Domaine in the best terroirs of Mercurey, to reach its present size of 95 acres. Nowadays, Amaury et Aurore Devillard represent the 5th generation of Burgundy people, wine’s men and women.
