Mercurey 1er Cru Les Cinq Château de Chamirey 2016
The wine
Les Cinq is produced from the best samples from Château de Chamirey’s five premier cru plots, blended to create this outstanding wine. The grapes are fermented in open vats for between 15 and 18 days, with punch-down. Barrel maturing uses 100% oak (half new) and the wine also goes through malolactic fermentation.
Owned by the Devillard family since 1934 (Domaine des Perdrix, Domaine de la Ferté), the Château de Chamirey dates from the 18th century. Today, Amaury and Aurore Devillard, who work alongside their father Bertrand, manage the 37 hectare domaine together (about half of which is classified as premier cru). The vines are on average 35 years old. Les Cinq is a cuvée made by combining the best parts of the five red premier crus of the Château de Chamirey to create this exceptional wine. One of the peculiarities of the domaine is the fact they wait for optimal maturity to harvest. The grapes are harvested manually, then sorted and destemmed.
