2020 Mâcon-la Roche Vineuse, Les Cras, Olivier Merlin, Burgundy

Description

This is lifted, rich and fragrant on the nose with floral, savoury fruit notes. There is great depth of fine, savoury fruit on the palate. This is saline with stony minerality; it has amazing energy and power for a Mâcon, with perfectly balanced acidity. It is very impressive and would put many Côte d'Or whites to shame. Still young at present, this has a long life ahead of it.

Drink 2025 - 2034

About this wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
