Named after the village it looks out over, beautiful Château de Chamirey is a flagship of Mercurey. The turreted building was built in the early 18th century and the estate has been handed down the generations. Today, it is run by Amaury Devillard, a true champion of the region. He explains how once Mercurey was regarded as rather a rustic wine. Now, however, with its 32 Premiers Crus, it is far from that – flinty, crisp whites and silky, polished Pinot Noirs. And with such a range of soils and aspect, the breadth of styles is fascinating. Les Ruelles is a monopole (a single vineyard with one owner) vineyard, with vines up to 60 years old. Tightly wound in its youth, it needs time to reveal its delicious silky fruity and complexity.
