South-facing slopes and shallow limestone soils yield a Pinot Noir of distinctive perfume, fine-grained tannins and structured red-fruit elegance. A benchmark Côte Chalonnaise 1er Cru and a longtime favourite among Burgundy collectors seeking depth at a sensible price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eViticulture \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau de Chamirey owns roughly one-third of the historic Clos du Roi — a 10-acre holding divided into four distinct plots whose differing soils ripen at slightly different times. Each plot is harvested, vinified and blended separately. Hand-harvested with selective sorting, followed by a 4-6 day cold pre-fermentation, full destemming and a 15-day maceration. Alcoholic fermentation runs on indigenous yeasts. Aged 100% in 228-litre traditional Burgundy barrels (~30% new) drawn from Burgundy, Allier and Vosges forests for 13 months, with 3 months in tank before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep, velvety red in colour, with an intense nose of ripe small red berries — raspberry and blueberry — framed by integrated oak.

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). 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. Leading houses span the entire spectrum, from Grand Cru domaines such as Faiveley, Bonneau du Martray, Dugat-Py and Henri \u0026amp; Philippe Jouan, to outstanding village wines from Maison Louis Jadot, Bouchard Père \u0026amp; Fils, Armand Heitz, and producers across Mercurey, Santenay and the Hautes-Côtes offering exceptional value.\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":46886725550238,"sku":null,"price":119.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/0659\/0268\/files\/ChateaudeChamireyMercureyRougePremierCru_ClosduRoi.webp?v=1782289892","url":"https:\/\/finepinot.com.au\/products\/chateau-de-chamirey-mercurey-rouge-premier-cru-clos-du-roi-2022","provider":"Fine Pinot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
