Wine Region: Burgundy - France
Grape: 100% Pinot Noir.
Tasting notes: "From a plot with deep but well-drained soils, the 2017 Mercurey Clos de la Maladière wafts from the glass with a rich bouquet of smoky berry fruit, espresso roast and grilled meats. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a fleshier, suppler profile than the regular Mercurey bottling and a more enveloping core of fruit." William Kelley
Expert Rating: Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 90/100.
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.
