Mercurey

Our Mercurey Rouge will perfectly match with pork chops, sausages, deli meats as well as sheep cheeses.

10 small plots are making this red Mercurey rouge + 3 plots of Premier Cru (En Sazenay ; Champs-Martin ; Clos L'Évêque). Dominated by clay and limestone with a clay predominance. Various exposures.

Aging process is taking place 40% in traditional Burgundian 228 liters barrels and 60% in stainless steel vats during 12 months. We use around 10% of new barrels.

After maceration, free and press wines are separated for aging.

The Domaine of Château de Chamirey planted in the best terroirs of Mercurey covers 95 acres of which 38 are located amongst the most renowned Premiers Crus of the appellation. Domain consists in 37 hectares (27 reds 10 whites 15 of which are Premier Cru) reflecting the diverse soils and micro climates found within the Mercury appellation. The whites fresh and lively and well balanced. This reaches its finest expression in the powerful Premier Cru La Mission. Château de Chamirey red is true indulgence. It has a silky texture and is very fruity typically showing the flavour of cherries. Our estate includes 6 big plots of Premier Cru in the village of Mercurey which is almost half of the village agricultural area. The estate includes exclusively the Premier Cru Les Ruelles in red wine and the Premier Cru La Mission in white wine.
