2021 Mâcon-la Roche Vineuse, Les Cras, Olivier Merlin, Burgundy

Description

This cuvée is from old vines planted on a steep, south-facing site with high limestone content. It’s a wine which surprises in its ability to age, and typically shows at its best at least 3 years from bottling. This is vivid and alive, full of limestone freshness and with tingling acidity that will drive the wine for many years.

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.
