Château de Chamirey Mercurey Rouge Premier Cru 'Clos du Roi' 2022

Château de Chamirey Mercurey Rouge Premier Cru 'Clos du Roi' is a red Burgundy from one of the best regarded premier cru sites in Mercurey.

Mercurey is the largest appellation of the Cote Chalonnaise, the stretch of Burgundy running south of the Cote de Beaune, and is planted mainly to Pinot Noir with a smaller share of Chardonnay. The hills here are higher and more broken than the Cote d'Or and the vineyards face in many directions, which is why individual sites matter. Chateau de Chamirey is one of the best known estates of the commune and is run by the Devillard family. Clos du Roi is a name that turns up in several Burgundian communes and always points to a vineyard once tied to the crown. Mercurey has more than thirty premier crus, far more than any other village in the Cote Chalonnaise. The Pinot Noir is hand picked, destemmed and matured in oak barrels with a measured proportion of new wood.

Serve at around 16 degrees with game, duck or roast lamb; decant young bottles, and expect the wine to improve over five to ten years.
