Domaine Faiveley Mercurey Clos Rochette Monopole Blanc

Clos Rochette is a 11-acre monopole of Domaine Faiveley located in the heart of the Mercurey appellation, in the Côte Chalonnaise just south of the Côte d’Or of Burgundy. This is an extremely rocky vineyard with soils of clay, limestone, and gravel. Vines date back to 1960, adding to the wine’s depth and concentration. This wine reveals exceptionally complex aromas and a fresh nose offering white flowers and spices. The lively attack gives way to a smooth, oily palate thanks to its oak aging. The flavors and aromas combine harmoniously resulting in a beautifully elegant wine. About the Brand: Founded in 1825, Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the time-honored traditions that have been practiced for centuries within their 19th century cellars. Each terroir and each vintage, benefits from special attention which makes the cuvées unique. Each bottle therefore becomes the faithful reflection of its terroir. Critical Acclaim: 2018: 90 points Wine Advocate "Offering up a pretty bouquet of yellow apples, pear and fresh peach, the 2018 Mercurey Blanc Clos Rochette is medium-bodied, elegantly textural and fine-boned, with a delicate core of fruit, lively acids and a nicely defined finish. This is a pretty, charming white that's already drinking well." Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
