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
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.
