The 2023 Château de Chamirey Mercurey Blanc is a refined Chardonnay from Burgundy's Côte Chalonnaise, crafted from a selection of estate vineyards across Mercurey. Produced by Château de Chamirey, this vintage showcases the freshness and mineral character of the appellation, with aromas of pear, white peach and citrus blossom, complemented by delicate white flowers, subtle spice and a hint of saline minerality. The fruit is hand-harvested, with a portion fermented and matured in oak barrels to add texture while preserving freshness.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavours of crisp orchard fruit, citrus and gentle stone fruit are supported by a fine mineral backbone and subtle oak influence, leading to a long, fresh finish with impressive precision and balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent White Burgundy for those who enjoy elegant, mineral-driven Chardonnay with freshness and finesse. Best enjoyed over the next 5–10 years, it pairs beautifully with baked fish, roast chicken in a cream sauce, mushroom risotto or soft-ripened cheeses.
