The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand. The alcoholic fermentation lasts 4 weeks and takes place for a proportion of the musts (55%) in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new oak. The ageing period lasts 16 months with regular stirring whilst the rest of the blend is aged in vats. This allows the wine to develop delicate woody notes whilst conserving its freshness and distinctive character.
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 ageing. The flavours and aromas combine harmoniously resulting in a beautifully elegant wine.
The 2017 Mercurey Clos Rochette Blanc has a pleasant lemon curd and apple blossom bouquet, touches of lime flower emerging with aeration. The palate is clean and fresh, offering orange zest on the entry, a fine bead of acidity and a tang of quince on the finish. Delightful.
