"A Premier Cru with undeniable complexity and charm, to be enjoyed now or cellared for several years"

The 2023 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos du Roi is a full-bodied wine with vibrant richness. Elegant on the palate, it envelops the mouth with its velvety texture and fills the palate with flavors of black berries, plum, orange peel, and dried violets. A charming wine to enjoy now or to age for years in the cellar.

The "Clos du Roi" Premier Cru is composed of four contiguous plots (3.089 hectares). The oldest vines were planted in 1970, and the youngest in 2002. The south/southwest-facing hillside has a concave shape, with the outer edges containing more limestone. The soil is dark brown in color.

Viticulture

Reasoned

Grape Harvest

Manuals

Wine Production

The grapes are 100% destemmed. Once the tank is filled, a 4- to 6-day cold pre-fermentation maceration at 10°C helps extract color from the skins. Natural fermentation then begins at 24°C, rising to 31°C in its final phase. Phenolic compounds are extracted through punch-downs, the intensity and frequency of which vary depending on the quality of the grapes and, therefore, the vintage. Post-fermentation maceration helps soften the tannins.

Livestock Farming

100% aged in 228-liter oak barrels, 70% of which are new

Eye

Beautiful deep ruby color

Nose

The initial aroma is pleasantly fruity: blackcurrant and blackberries, followed by floral and spicy notes (pepper)

Palate

On the palate, the tannins are completely integrated, in perfect balance with the acidity and roundness. Great finesse on the palate with a slightly licorice-like finish. Energy and complexity.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100

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

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.

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.

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 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.
