Clos Rochette Mercurey Blanc 2023 FAIVELEY 75CL

Description

Flavour and aroma Maison Faiveley's Mercurey Blanc Clos Rochette 2023 is a refined white wine, with notes of apple, pear and hints of white flowers. It has a delicate, well-balanced flavour on the palate. Aromas of green apple, pear and white peach dominate, bringing a sensation of freshness and fruitiness. Each sip reveals nuances of white flowers, such as jasmine and acacia, creating a perfect harmony between the fruity and floral notes. The texture is silky and the finish is long and mineral, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and complexity.

Grape variety Made from Chardonnay grapes, this wine benefits from the finesse and complexity characteristic of this Burgundy variety. The old vines, grown on clay-limestone soils, benefit from optimum sunshine and a favourable microclimate, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly.

Terroir The Mercurey terroir, located in Burgundy's Côte Chalonnaise region, is renowned for its clay-limestone soils and temperate climate. The vines benefit from optimum exposure to the sun, helping the grapes to ripen to perfection. This unique terroir gives the wine its distinctive characteristics, including freshness, minerality and complex aromas. The mineral-rich soils and sunny exposure contribute to the wine's complexity and finesse.
