2023 Château de Chamirey Mercurey Blanc Premier Cru 'La Mission' Monopole Blanc

The 2023 Château de Chamirey Mercurey Blanc Premier Cru “La Mission” Monopole is the flagship white of the estate and one of the finest expressions of Chardonnay from the Côte Chalonnaise. Sourced from a rare monopole Premier Cru vineyard exclusively owned by the château, it benefits from ideal south-east exposure and clay-limestone soils, delivering both richness and mineral precision.

The nose is elegant and complex, revealing aromas of white flowers, citrus zest and orchard fruits, layered with hints of toasted hazelnut and subtle oak spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a creamy yet vibrant texture, combining flavours of lemon curd, green apple and apricot with a pronounced mineral backbone. A saline freshness brings balance and precision, leading to a long, refined and persistent finish.

The style is both powerful and precise—classic Premier Cru white Burgundy—offering depth, structure and excellent aging potential of up to 10–15 years, while still approachable with some aeration. 

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Premier Cru Burgundy for customers seeking a serious Chardonnay with both richness and minerality. Ideal for those who enjoy Meursault or Pouilly-Fuissé but want something more distinctive and great value. This is not a simple white—it’s about structure, elegance and terroir expression. Best enjoyed with decanting if young. Perfect with lobster, scallops, poultry or creamy dishes.
