Product notes
The 'Clos des Ruelles' Premier Cru plot is a monopoly held by Château de Chamirey, an exceptional terroir for which the estate is renowned.
Production notes
The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand, before being vinified naturally. This Mercurey wine is then aged in oak barrels. Mercurey Premier Cru Clos des Ruelles Monopole 2022 is a Burgundy wine from a terroir where the oldest vines were planted in 1954. This south-east-facing plot favours optimal ripening of the grapes. The clay-limestone soil is ideal for growing Pinot Noir.
Tasting notes
The palate presents a harmonious balance between fine tannins and a lingering finish. This Burgundy wine pairs perfectly with red meat dishes like a herby rack of lamb or filet mignon with mushrooms.
