Vintage Report

The 2021 vintage in Burgundy has received an excellent rating of 92 points. The wines from this year are maturing relatively early and are already quite accessible.

This red Mercurey is a top-quality wine from the Château de Chamirey estate. Unparalleled quality, richness, and suppleness! Ten small village plots and three Premier Cru plots (En Sazenay; Champs-Martin; Clos L'Évêque) combine to create this Mercurey Rouge. The vines are planted on clay-limestone soil.

High quality wines from Chateau de Chamirey

Chateau de Chamirey, built in Mercurey in the 18th century, is an elegant castle. In 1934, the Marquis de Jouennes, as a precursor, decided to bottle Chateau de Chamirey wines at the estate. Today, his grandchildren continue his work. The Pinot Noir grape is less widely planted in Mercurey than Chardonnay. White is therefore the most common wine here, but red is definitely not to be underestimated. And Chateau de Chamirey is proof of that. This estate owns more red vineyards than white. The red wines are made with an emphasis on fruit and suppleness. High quality is paramount. Of the total 95 hectares, 38 hectares are planted with the appellation's most renowned Premiers Crus. The vineyards are managed with great care, ensuring high quality. The grapes are harvested by hand and then sorted by hand. After destemming, the grapes undergo cold maceration for four to six days at a temperature of ten degrees Celsius to extract the color from the skins. Fermentation then follows at 24 degrees Celsius, reaching a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius in the final stages. Finally, the wine is aged for twelve months in 80 percent oak barrels and 20 percent stainless steel vats.

A fruity Pinot Noir from Chateau de Chamirey

The nose offers a wide palette of impressions, with hints of vanilla, black cherries, strawberries, and blueberries, with a touch of cinnamon in the background. Superb, and very appealing! The palate is also a gem: juicy and rich, soft and creamy, with delicious red fruit and black cherries. It's a beautiful glass, pleasantly velvety and full, with some lovely tannins on the finish.
