Mercurey En Pierrelet
2022
Since 1934 this Château has produced its own bottles and the Devillard family is in its 5th generation of wine growers passionate about grapes and wine. Located in Mercurey in the greater Burgundy region, the 37 hectare vineyard benefits from all the typical attributes of the region, which the Devillards combine with rigorous vinification, always waiting for the maximum maturity of the fruits before starting their work.

Coming from two "En Pierrelet" plots, planted in 1990 of 2.9670 hectares. Small clay-limestone terrace with limestone predominance. Facing South-East, the vines are located just behind the Château.
The grapes are harvested by hand, sorted manually, partially or 100% destemmed depending on the vintage. The juice is decanted after pressing for 12 to 24 hours at a controlled temperature. The malolactic fermentation is carried out at 100%. The wine is aged for 11 months.
Clear and brilliant gold color. The nose develops notes of sweet spices, nutmeg and white flowers. The palate is ripe and clean, with good volume. Its aromatic power, focused on white-fleshed fruits and brioche notes, gives it great length. Pairs well with salmon tartars, tandoori chicken and mature goat cheeses.
A deft application of wood suffuses the slightly more elegant if otherwise similar nose. The wood can also be found on the palate of the ever-so-mildly finer medium weight flavors that possess solid verve on the nicely dry, clean and sneaky long finale. This too should drink well young.
