Mercurey rouge Premier Cru
"Les Cinq"
Terroir
Thank to the great vintage 2009, Bertrand, Amaury and Aurore Devillard, Marquis
de Jouennes' heirs, decided to create an unique cuvée named 'Les Cinq' ('The
Five').
The best barrels (burgundy barrels of 228 liters) from the five Premiers Crus red of
Château de Chamirey have been selected and blended to make this prestigeous
cuvée.
They all come from the best Premier Cru of the village of Mercurey : Les
Ruelles monopole ; En Sazenay ; Clos du Roi ; Clos l'Évêque and ChampsMartin

Winemaking and Aging
To preserve their integrity, grapes
are carefully harvested and sorted
out by hand.
Before beginning the alcoholic
fermentation we make a cold prefermentation during 4 to 6 days to
work on the phelonic
component's exctraction. 10%
whole clusters were used. Then
full maceration lasts for 15 days
during which we'll use only
pigeages (punching the cap).
Intensity and numbers are lead to
the concentration of tannins,
perfumes and colour.
Alcoholic fermentation is realized
with natural yeasts.
After maceration, free and press
wines are separated for aging.
Aging process is taking place
100% in traditional Burgundian
228 liters barrels during 15
months. 70% new barrels.
We only use French oak coming
mainly from Bourgogne, Allier
and Vosges forests.
The wine spends 3 more months
in tanks before bottling.
