Decanter, 92 Points
"The Château de Chamirey owns a pretty tasty slice of this Premier Cru at 2.53ha on red and iron soils. The result is impressively textured and concentrated, with supple tannins and smooth raspberry and strawberry fruit flavours embellished by 25% new wood. The balance is just right on this superior Côte Chalonnaise Pinot Noir."
Wine Spectator, 92 Points
"Though luscious and saturated with blackberry, black cherry and plum flavors, this red is also dense and well-constructed, with elements of chocolate and spice on the long finish. Fine harmony. Drink now through 2030."
Wine Advocate, 91 Points
"The 2018 Mercurey 1er Cru Les Ruelles opens in the glass with notes of cassis, plums, smoked meats and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with fine depth and concentration, bright acids and a flavorful finish, it's a definite success."
Wine & Spirits, 91 Points
"Clean, red-fruited Burgundy, this wine's flavors travel from peach to cherry to plum. That fruit is dressed up in oak, but not buried in it, and it's the lovely fruit that lasts. Pour it with beef filet."
Winemaker Notes:
"Ruby color with purple reflects, complex nose showing some licorice, black fruits and pepper notes. Nice structure with polished tannins. Good length."
Alcohol: 14%
