The entry-level Mercurey blanc is a blend of seven different lieux-dits across the village. The wine shows a lovely citrusy grapefruit aroma with a suggestion of fresh white flowers. The texture is crisp and clean, with light body, fresh acidity, and moderate length. The grapes were pressed gently as whole clusters; half of the must was fermented in tank, and half in 400 litre barrels (20% new). The result is very refreshing and should drink well upon release, although it is not a wine with the substance for cellaring.
