The 2022 Chateau de Chamirey Mercurey Rouge is a benchmark expression of Mercurey and one of the leading village wines of the Côte Chalonnaise. Produced by one of Burgundy’s most historic estates, this Pinot Noir showcases the richness, structure and elegance that have made Mercurey one of Burgundy’s most respected value appellations. The excellent 2022 vintage delivered outstanding fruit concentration and balance, resulting in a wine that combines immediate charm with impressive ageing potential.
The nose is expressive and beautifully layered, revealing aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry alongside violet, rose petal and subtle spice. Notes of forest floor, dried herbs and gentle oak influence add complexity, while delicate earthy nuances and a touch of minerality provide classic Burgundian character. The aromatic profile is vibrant, refined and highly inviting.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright acidity and impressive depth of fruit. Juicy red berry and cherry flavours are supported by subtle spice, earthy undertones and finely integrated oak. The texture is supple and polished, offering both richness and freshness, while the structure provides excellent balance and length. The finish is elegant and persistent, carrying lingering notes of red fruits, gentle spice and savoury complexity. The style is approachable in its youth yet possesses the concentration and framework to develop beautifully with time in the cellar.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers seeking authentic red Burgundy that delivers both quality and value. Compared to many Bourgogne Rouge wines, Chateau de Chamirey Mercurey offers greater depth, structure and complexity while remaining approachable and highly food friendly. It’s an excellent introduction to village-level Burgundy and a reliable option for Pinot Noir lovers looking for a classic French expression. Drink now or cellar comfortably over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with roast duck, roast chicken, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin, beef bourguignon or soft-rind cheeses.
