2021 Chamirey, Mercurey Red

ABOUT THE WINE. A 95-hectare estate (37-hectares of vineyard) covering some of the finest terroirs in Mercurey. The château, overlooking the village of Chamirey, was built in the early 18th Century, and saw a succession of owners before coming into the Devillard family through marriage. The estate began bottling its own wines in 1934, making it a forerunner in the region.. TASTING NOTES. Wild strawberries, cherries and raspberries on the aromas; bright and fresh on the palate, with a nutty element and a touch of earthiness on the finish. Light, flavoursome, easy-drinking.. FOOD PAIRING. Well-suited to chicken dishes, or as an aperitif. Can also be served lightly chilled.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. Sourced from ten different village-plots in the region, and three Premier Cru plots; 40% is aged in lightly toasted French oak (10% new), 60% in stainless steel tank, for 12 months..
