Château de Chamirey Mercurey Rouge Premier Cru “En Sazenay” 2022 is a classic expression of Pinot Noir in Burgundy. It originates from the En Sazenay plot on a southeast-facing slope with rich limestone soil, contributing to a pronounced minerality and the wine’s harmonious structure. The wine is characterized by spicy and earthy aromas that open into red fruit, with a silky texture and a long, fresh finish. Precise vinification and aging in French oak barrels provide additional complexity and long aging potential, making it a true Burgundy classic—ideal with coq au vin or cheeses such as Époisses.
