El "Clos du Roi" es un vino elaborado en el viñedo de Château de Chamirey, ubicado en la región de Borgoña. Este terroir cuenta con una superficie de poco más de 3 hectáreas y está orientado al sur/suroeste. Las parcelas son contiguas y están formadas por viñedos plantados en 1970 y 2002, sobre un suelo marrón oscuro compuesto principalmente de piedra caliza.

La vendimia se realiza manualmente, seguida de una selección meticulosa. La uva se despalilla completamente antes del proceso de vinificación que incluye maceración prefermentativa en frío durante 4 a 6 días y fermentación con pigeages. Posteriormente, el vino pasa por una crianza de 16 meses en barricas de roble (30% nuevas) y luego se descansa otros dos meses en depósitos de acero inoxidable.

Perfil del Vino:
El Clos du Roi es un vino medio a cuerpo completo, con textura sedosa y vibrante. Evoca sabores dulces de frutas rojas como fresas y arándanos, así como notas de ciruelas y naranja confitada, acompañadas de flores secas.

Layered and enveloping, the 2019 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos du Roi is a medium to full-bodied, velvety and vibrant wine evocative of sweet berry fruit, plums, orange rind and dried flowers. This is an especially charming Clos du Roi that will offer a broad drinking window.

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.
