The village Mercurey Rouge is drawn from ten small plots across the appellation, elevated by 6% of Premier Cru fruit blended in — a quietly upgraded village wine that drinks above its tier while keeping the Devillard family's signature transparency and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eViticulture \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSource:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 small plots across Mercurey, blended with 6% Premier Cru fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clay-dominant clay-limestone, with various exposures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-picked, hand-sorted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partial destemming, 4–6 day cold pre-ferment, 15-day total maceration worked by pigeage and pumping-over, indigenous yeasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65% in traditional 228L Burgundian barrels for 7 months (~10% new oak), then 2 months in stainless steel before bottling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimpid and shiny dark red in the glass.

Centred on the Côte d'Or — the narrow east-facing escarpment running from Dijon south to Maranges — viticulture is divided into the Côte de Nuits (sources of the most structured, age-worthy reds such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges) and the Côte de Beaune (home to Pommard, Volnay, Chassagne-Montrachet and Beaune). Further south the Côte Chalonnaise — home to Mercurey — offers Pinot Noir of comparable craft at a fraction of Côte d'Or pricing. Soil composition shifts metre by metre — limestone, marl and clay — creating the famous mosaic of climats that define each appellation. Burgundian Pinot Noir remains the worldwide reference for the variety: perfumed, savoury, structured and capable of decades of evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/burgundy\"\u003eBrowse all Burgundy, France Pinot Noir →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château de Chamirey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46886725517470,"sku":null,"price":79.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/0659\/0268\/files\/DJMiavDYIJ2BmtUPupPS2Qw_0_gps_generated.png?v=1780650810","url":"https:\/\/finepinot.com.au\/products\/chateau-de-chamirey-mercurey-rouge-2023","provider":"Fine Pinot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
