WINE DESCRIPTION

Château de Chamirey Mercurey 1er Cru 'Clos du Roi' is a stunning expression of Burgundy’s Premier Cru vineyards, crafted with meticulous care by Château de Chamirey. Sourced from four contiguous plots planted between 1970 and 2002, this wine embodies the unique terroir of its south-southwest-facing Mercurey slopes. The dark brown soils, with limestone-rich extremities, give depth to the wine’s character. Hand-harvested grapes undergo a precise, natural fermentation, followed by a cold pre-fermentation to extract color and a tailored maceration to soften tannins. Aged for 10 months in French oak barrels (25% new), followed by 4 months in tank, this wine showcases the refined artistry of Burgundy, balancing structure and finesse in every sip.
