El viñedo de Les Ruelles Monopole está compuesto por dos parcelas con diferentes exposiciones. Las uvas se plantaron entre 1954 y 1980 en un suelo arcilloso y calizo, predominando el caliz. La vendimia es cuidadosa y manual, realizándose una prefermentación fría de 4 a 6 días para extraer los componentes fenólicos. Las uvas se despalillan parcialmente antes del proceso de maceración completo que dura 15 días con pigeages (golpeando el sombrero). La fermentación alcohólica se realiza con levaduras naturales.

La crianza se desarrolla durante 15 meses en barricas tradicionales de Borgoña, con un 25% de barricas nuevas. Solo utilizan roble francés procedente principalmente de bosques de Borgoña, Allier y Vosgos.

The 2018 Mercurey 1er Cru Les Ruelles opens in the glass with notes of cassis, plums, smoked meats and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with fine depth and concentration, bright acids and a flavorful finish, it's a definite success.

Learn more about Château de Chamirey

The château was built in the early eighteenth century, with an Italian-influenced architecture unusual in Burgundy. The towers that identify it today came later: they were built at the end of that same century, after a fire destroyed the chapel. It was after that fire that the Dupaty de Clam family sold the property to the Jouennes d'Herville, who bought it in 1932.

Two years later came the decision that defines the house. In 1934 the Marquis de Jouennes chose to bottle his wine at the estate itself, at a time when the norm in Burgundy was to sell the harvest in bulk to the négoce. He was among the first to do so in the Côte Chalonnaise.

His son-in-law, Bertrand Devillard, later took over and expanded the property across Mercurey's finest sites. Today it is run by his children Amaury and Aurore Devillard, the fifth generation of Burgundy winemakers, alongside their father.

There are some thirty-eight hectares in Mercurey, of which eight and a half are premier cru and just over three are monopoles: parcels whose ownership they share with nobody.
