The 2023 Château de Chamirey Mercurey Premier Cru “Clos du Roi” is a distinguished Burgundy Pinot Noir from one of the most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards in Mercurey. Sourced from south- and south-west-facing clay-limestone slopes, this historic climat is known for producing wines with both structure and finesse, reflecting the Devillard family’s meticulous, terroir-driven approach.
The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of red cherry, raspberry and strawberry, complemented by violet, spice and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky yet structured texture, showing fine-grained tannins and well-balanced acidity. Flavours of red and dark berries are supported by a mineral backbone, leading to a long, elegant and refined finish with both freshness and depth.
The style combines power and elegance—classic Mercurey Premier Cru—offering immediate appeal while also capable of aging for 10+ years, gaining further complexity over time.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Premier Cru Burgundy for customers seeking a serious Pinot Noir with both structure and finesse. Ideal for those who enjoy Côte d’Or-style Burgundy but want better value. This is not a light, simple red—it’s about balance, minerality and aging potential. Best decanted if young. Perfect with duck, lamb, mushroom dishes or classic French cuisine.
