2014 Chateau de Chamirey, "La Mission Monopole" 1er Cru, Mercurey Blanc

You do not have to be a sommelier to appreciate the quality of a superbly crafted white Burgundy from Mercurey, a region which does not get enough love! In fact, if today's feature had the more prestigious classification of Puligny or Chassagne, not only would the price be double, the wine would be long gone.

With its limestone soil, you'd swear this wine has elements of Meursault. With is creamy-texture, you may even detect elements of Puligny-Montrachet - we did! You will also be treated to notes of citrus, pear, green apple and white flowers. A mineral driven and well-balanced finale throws off the slightest hint of vanilla bean.

Chateau de Chamirey may not have the zip-code, but it has all the class of its higher-priced neighbors to the North. "La Mission" is a 1er Cru Monopole, which means it is an exclusively owned vineyard of the Chateau.

We are confident you will love this "Editor's Choice" from the highly desired 2014 vintage.
