“This wine is the essence of the Devillard family’s five premier crus (which they also vinify separately). It showcases the quintessential Mercurey: rich, generous, and bursting with ripe red fruit. The tannins are present to allow this impressive wine to age. Ready to drink starting in 2022.” (Wine Enthusiast 2017). Thanks to the exceptional 2010 vintage, the Devillard family decided to create this grand cuvée, named “Les Cinq,” by selecting the best lots from the estate’s five red Premiers Crus. Please note: limited quantities available.

Wine rated 17/20 (Benchmark wine)

Rated estate (2025 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Made from grapes grown in five different climats, its complexity is perfectly expressed through its elegance, and it has excellent aging potential.

About the estate:

The Devillard family has expanded beyond the borders of Burgundy by acquiring the Rolet estate in the Jura. In Mercurey, Château de Chamirey remains their largest Burgundian property, with 37 hectares, 15 of which are Premier Cru vineyards. Another distinctive feature of the estate is its table d’hôtes, located in the heart of the hamlet. A skilled technical team—including the newly appointed cellar master, Carole Briffox, advised by oenologist Enrico Peyrone—is constantly striving to improve practices in the vineyards, winemaking, and aging, always in pursuit of excellence. Following a particularly successful 2017 vintage, the estate has successfully captured the full potential of the 2018 vintage—its intensity as well as its finesse. A step up in our ranking could be achieved very soon.

About the estate:

Owned by the Devillard family, this iconic estate began its winemaking operations in the 1930s, under the leadership of the Marquis de Jouennes. His heirs—Bertrand Devillard and his children, Amaury and Aurore—now manage a vast 37-hectare vineyard.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the estate:

As I wrote earlier, the Devillard family’s Château de Chamirey, spanning nearly 39 hectares, dominates the landscape of Mercurey. Fortunately, the quality of these wines now makes them a more than worthy ambassador for the appellation. Managing such a large estate naturally presents challenges, but estate manager Enrico Peyron is to be commended for the progress he has made in adapting a large winery to a small-scale operation. Two harvest teams, for example, now operate independently: one responsible for the whites, the other for the reds. The 2018 vintage, which I tasted in Beaune, turned out very well here, producing balanced and elegant reds and charming, expressive whites.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

A blend of five Premier Cru vineyards. With a complex aromatic profile, the Pinot Noir expresses itself with finesse and delicacy, more infused than extracted. The oak is unobtrusive, which is a plus. We would have expected the 2015 vintage to give it a bit more density, however.

About the estate:

This majestic estate in the hamlet of Chamirey has been owned by the Devillard family since 1934 and boasts a superb collection of vineyards in Mercurey, including six Premier Crus. It features a tasting room as well as a highly sought-after charming guesthouse: a swimming pool awaits you there at the foot of the Clos du Roi vineyards. The quality of the 2019 vintage is inconsistent and, unfortunately, follows the string of disappointments seen with the 2018 wines last year.

About the wine:

This wine embodies the essence of the Devillard family’s five premier crus (which they also vinify separately). It showcases the quintessential Mercurey: rich, generous, and bursting with ripe red fruit. The tannins provide the structure needed for this impressive wine to age well. Best enjoyed starting in 2022.
