Chateau de Chamirey Mercurey 1er Cru "Clos du Roi" Rouge 2017, 750ml

The Clos du Roi vineyard consists of four adjacent plots planted between 1970 and 2002. The vineyard faces south/south-west with a concave slope and features dark-brown soil with chalky borders.

The winemaking process begins with a 4 to 6-day cold pre-fermentation maceration to enhance phenolic extraction. The grapes are partially destemmed and undergo a 15-day maceration with punch-downs and pump-overs. Natural yeasts are used for fermentation.

Aging process is taking place 100% in traditional Burgundian 228 liters barrels during 15 months with around 25% of new barrels.
Only use French oak coming mainly from Bourgogne, Allier and Vosges forests..

Tasting Note:

Beautiful and intense ruby colour. Intense nose with concentrated black fruits notes as blackberry, plum and cassis. Grassy and red fruits notes. On the palate the wine is rich, round and supple with silky tannins.
