Adjacent to the famed Clos du Roi vineyard sits La Mission, another Premier Cru vineyard, but in this case, planted only to Chardonnay and solely owned by the Château de Chamirey. Aurore Devillard, who along with her brother run the Château de Chamirey, explains that they have moved away from small barrels and now use larger, 400-liter ones for the whites. Here, lushness, without a trace of heaviness, balances the typical firmness of Mercurey. The precision and elegance of the 2023 La Mission dazzles and compliments its richness.
