El Clos Des Ruelles 2018 es un vino tinto de la bodega Château de Chamirey, producido en la región de Borgoña, específicamente en la denominación Mercurey 1er Cru, ubicada en la Côte Chalonnaise. Se trata de un monopolio que abarca 2,5377 hectáreas divididas en dos parcelas con orientación sur-sureste, donde se encuentran viñas plantadas entre 1954 y 1980. La uva empleada es 100% Pinot Noir.

El suelo presenta una naturaleza arcillo-calcárea con predominio de caliza y una alta concentración de hierro oxidado. La elaboración comienza con una vendimia manual y selección en mesa, seguida de una prefermentación en frío de 4 a 6 días con despalillado parcial. La maceración se extiende durante 15 días con un pigeage exclusivo, utilizando levaduras naturales para la fermentación alcohólica. Los vinos libres y los de prensa se separan antes de la crianza, la cual dura 15 meses en barricas de roble francés de Borgoña, Allier y Vosgos de 228 litros, siendo el 25% de las mismas nuevas.

En la copa, el 2018 Mercurey 1er Cru Les Ruelles se caracteriza por notas de cassis, ciruelas, carnes ahumadas y matices terrosos dulces. Se describe como de cuerpo medio a lleno, con una textura carnosa y capas de profundidad, destacando por su acidez vibrante y un final sabroso.

PARKER: 91

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. In 1932 the Dupaty de Clam family sold the property to the Jouennes d'Herville.

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.
