ABOUT THE WINE
A 95-hectare estate (37-hectares of vineyard) covering some of the finest terroirs in Mercurey. The château, overlooking the village of Chamirey, was built in the early 18th Century, and saw a succession of owners before coming into the Devillard family through marriage. The estate began bottling its own wines in 1934, making it a forerunner in the region.
TASTING NOTES
Peach and white fruit aromas, with creamy oak notes and a hint of wood-spice. The palate is crisp, with stone-fruit, delicate floral character and fresh, bright acidity.
FOOD PAIRING
Ideal with fish.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
Sourced from six different plots in the region; aged in lightly toasted French oak, 15% new, for 11 months.
