2021 Mâcon-La Roche Vineuse, Vieilles Vignes, Olivier Merlin, Burgundy

Description

This cuvée – made from the fruit of 65-year-old vines – is fermented and aged for the first year in barrel, then into tank before bottling. Olivier and Théo decided to keep more of the solids after pressing to add a bit more fat to the wine. The spicy reduction is absolutely on point. Racy and spicy wine.

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.
