Mercurey 1er Cru 2019 En Sazenay - Château de Chamirey
Château de Chamirey - Mercurey Premier Cru
92/100 Parker
Cellaring : 2021 - 2038
By William Kelley in 2021: "The 2019 Mercurey 1er Cru En Sazenay is another fine success, displaying aromas of raspberry, plum, spice and violets. Medium-bodied, crisp and precise, with tart acids and a saline finish, this is an elegant, fine-boned wine from this steeply sloping site.
TERROIR
Average age of the vines: 18 years.
Surface area: 1.52 ha
Exposure: East. The soil is very exposed to erosion, very rich in limestone. The upper part of the slope is extremely stony; the lower part is richer in fine elements.
VINIFICATION
The grapes are harvested by hand to ensure quality. The harvest was sorted by hand and vinified at 35% whole grapes. Following the filling of the vat, a pre-fermentation cold maceration of 4 to 6 days at 10°C helps to extract the color of the skins. The natural fermentation then starts at 24°C and rises to 31°C in its final phase. The extraction of phenolic compounds is done with the help of punching downs, the intensity and number of which vary according to the quality of the grapes and therefore the vintage. The post-fermentation maceration helps to soften the tannins.
BREEDING
At devatting, free-run wine and press wine are carefully separated and aged separately. The wine is aged for 15 months in 100% oak barrels of which 25% are new.
SERVICE
Temperature at 15° in a good tasting glass to amplify the aromas of the wine
