2019 Chateau de Chamirey, Mercurey, Burgundy, France

Made from a selection of 7 plots found around the village of Mercurey with the diversity of soil made up of clay and limestone reflecting richness in this quality wine. After being hand harvested the grapes are treated with care to ensure their aromatic profile is preserved. The juice is then fermented and aged in a combination of stainless-steel vats (70%) and Burgundian barrels 400L (30%). On appearance this Blanc has a nice light-yellow colour with green reflections. The nose is intense, fruity and floral with notes reflected in the palate of peach and citrus alongside delicate floral notes and hints of creamy oak. This wine is well-balanced with fresh crisp acidity, intense character and a long finish. Pairs beautifully with freshly caught seabass or squid.

The Château de Chamirey overlooks the village of Chamirey and was built in the 18th century. Plantings were on the best terroirs of Mercurey in Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy. With a long history it was in 1934, that the Marquis de Jouennes decided to bottle the wines of Château de Chamirey, at the Domaine. Since then, the Domaine has grown to 95 acres, of which 38 are renowned Premier Crus, planted according to Burgundian tradition to guarantee high quality wines coming from vines that are average 35 years old.
