A Historic Winery with an Elegant Castle

The Château de Chamirey, an elegant 18th-century castle influenced by Italian architecture, sits atop a rocky outcrop, offering stunning views of the surrounding French gardens. In 1934, the visionary Marquis de Jouennes began bottling the wines at the estate, setting a precedent for quality. His son-in-law, Bertrand Devillard, expanded the vineyard into the finest terroirs of Mercurey, enhancing its reputation.

The estate features 37 hectares of vineyards, including 27 hectares of red and 10 hectares of white grapes, with 15 hectares classified as Premier Cru.

The white wines are known for their freshness and balance, with the Premier Cru “La Mission” standing out for its exceptional quality.
