Das Château de Chamirey ist seit 1934 Eigentum der Familie Devillard (Domaine des Perdrix, Domaine de la Ferté) und stammt aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Inzwischen verwalten Amaury und Aurore Devillard zusammen mit ihrem Vater Bertrand die 37 Hektar Fläche (davon ist etwa die Hälfte als Premier Cru klassifiziert). Die Rebstöcke sind im Durchschnitt 35 Jahre alt. Les Cinq ist eine Cuvée aus den besten Trauben der fünf roten Premiers Crus des Weinguts. Eines der Merkmale des Weinguts ist die optimale Reife der Trauben bei der Lese. Sie werden von Hand geerntet, sortiert und entrappt.

This cuvee, bottled solely in magnums with only a little over a thousand exclusive bottles, is grown on a small plot of 1.15 hectares in the hamlet of Les Chavances where Pinot Noir vines have been cultivated since 1988. These are located at the base of an amphitheatre with clay-limestone soil rich in iron and alluvium, creating a microclimate ideal for ripening the grapes. Only the best are chosen after careful sorting: around 30% of the entire harvest ­­is put into vats for an initial cold fermentation, where punching down and pumping over is manually performed several times. After fermentation, the grape must macerates for a few more days before being transferred to oak barrels, a fourth of which are new, to mature for 11 months, followed by a final three months of ageing in tanks.
Hors Ligne boasts an intense red colour with complex aromas of black fruits and violet, topped with a hint of minerality and spices. The mouthfeel is full-bodied yet refreshing and structured by ripe tannins. This wine can be enjoyed young but could also evolve splendidly after cellaring 15 to 20 years.
