The 2020 Château de Chamirey Mercurey Blanc is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay from the Côte Chalonnaise, offering a classic balance of freshness, elegance and subtle richness. Sourced from multiple clay-limestone vineyard plots, it reflects the estate’s terroir-driven approach and careful vinification, with partial oak aging adding complexity without overpowering the fruit.
The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of white flowers, peach and pear, alongside citrus and a gentle touch of creamy oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture balanced by fresh acidity. Flavours of stone fruit and citrus are complemented by a delicate floral lift and subtle spice, leading to a long, clean finish with a slight saline minerality.
The style is classic Mercurey Blanc—elegant, mineral-driven and quietly complex—offering both immediate drinkability and the ability to age for 5–10 years.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great-value white Burgundy for customers who enjoy Chardonnay with both freshness and a touch of richness. Ideal for those who like Chablis but want something slightly rounder and more textured. This is not a heavy white—it’s about balance, finesse and versatility. Drink now or cellar short to mid-term. Perfect with grilled fish, seafood, poultry or creamy dishes.
