About this winery

Since 1934 this Château has produced its own bottles and the Devillard family is in its 5th generation of wine growers passionate about grapes and wine. Located in Mercurey in the greater Burgundy region, the 37 hectare vineyard benefits from all the typical attributes of the region, which the Devillards combine with rigorous vinification, always waiting for the maximum maturity of the fruits before starting their work.

Product notes

The majority of the plots, the oldest of which dates from 1963, have clay-limestone soil with a predominance of limestone.

Production notes

The grapes are harvested and sorted manually. The juice is decanted after pressing for 12 to 24 hours before the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in vats or barrels. The wine is aged for 10 months, 70% in stainless steel vats and 30% in 400 l barrels.

Tasting notes

Pale yellow color with green highlights, The nose is powerful, fruity and floral. On the palate, the wine is present, long and fresh. Seductive wine very well balanced. Pairings with white fish, seafood and white meats.

Andy Howard, January 2022 (Vintage 2020)

Classy Mercurey blanc. Weighty but with plenty of crisp acidity to balance. Lots of precision and drive here. Not cheap for village Mercurey but worth the money.
