"This cuvée, made from vines planted in 1961 and 1997, won over seduced the tasters. Rich nose with notes of crème brûlée crème brûlée, caramel and a hint of smoke. The palate impresses with its power, fatness and nervous fruitiness, carried freshness on the finish. A great wine " (Bourgogne Aujourd'hui - Dec 2019 -Jan 2020)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (2022 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

The Devillard family has expanded beyond the borders of Burgundy with the purchase of Maison Rolet in the Jura. In Mercurey, Château de Chamirey remains the largest of their Burgundy estates, with 37 hectares, including 15 Premier Cru. A special feature of the estate is the table d'hôtes in the heart of the hamlet. A skilled technical team, with the arrival of a new cellar master, Carole Briffox, advised by oenologist Enrico Peyrone, constantly strives to improve work in the vines, in winemaking and in ageing, always in pursuit of excellence. After a particularly successful 2017, the estate has captured the full potential of 2018, its intensity but also its finesse. A step up in our hierarchy could be coming very soon.

Domain rated (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

Draped in gold, this wine lets intense aromas rise from the glass, blending fresh scents of bergamot and lychee with warmer notes of flambéed banana and vanilla. Fatness, density and richness characterize the palate, with a hint of acidity exacerbating the fruit flavors. A bottle with character.

About the domain :

Owned by the Devillard family, this emblematic estate developed its winegrowing activity in the 1930s, under the impetus of the Marquis de Jouennes. His heirs, Bertrand Devillard and his children Amaury and Aurore, now manage a vast 37-hectare vineyard.

Rated (2019 guide) 91+/100 (Wonderful wine)

Domain rated (guide 2021) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The 2017 Mercurey 1er Cru La Mission Blanc reveals a more reserved bouquet of pear, wheat toast, waxy citrus peel and fresh peach. On the palate, it's medium- to full-bodied, satiny and bright, if a little closed by its recent bottling, ending with a saline finish. It comes from a sandy premier cru overlooking Clos du Roi.

About the domain :

As I've written before, the Devillard family's Château de Chamirey dominates Mercurey's geography, covering almost 39 hectares. Fortunately, the quality of their wines has made them a more than worthy ambassador for the appellation. Managing such a large area naturally presents challenges, but manager Enrico Peyron is to be congratulated on the progress he has made in adapting a large winery to a small-scale operation. Two harvest teams, for example, now operate independently: one in charge of whites, the other of reds. The 2018 vintage, which I tasted in Beaune, went very well at this address, delivering balanced, elegant reds and charming, expressive whites.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 15.5/20 (Good wine)

Domain rated (guide 2022) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the wine:

Above Clos du Roi, La Mission is a monopole of barely 2 hectares. Very floral, salient and pure, it has an infinite freshness, assured on the palate by a fine, graceful texture. Good ageing potential.

About the domain :

This majestic property in the hamlet of Chamirey has belonged to the Devillard family since 1934, and boasts a fine collection of parcels in Mercurey, including six premier crus. There's also a tasting room and a charming, much-appreciated gîte: a swimming pool awaits you at the foot of the Clos du Roi vines. The level of the 2019s is not homogeneous and, alas, follows the pattern of disappointments seen with the 2018 wines last year.
