Mercurey, Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, France
This wine’s sat in the cellar for some time now, avoiding opening for no real reason other than little interest in this corner of Burgundy. Well, more fool me, as this was a joy to drink, truly joyous Chardonnay that could hold a candle to many a pricier wine from the Côte de Beaune. The nose is gorgeous, with that delightful medley of burnt butter, lemon rind, cinnamon and wet stone, while the palate adds melon and flecks of vanilla to the mix. It’s saline, harmonious and finishes sneaky long. Wish I had another few of these in that neglected corner of the cellar!

Beautifully crafted - a bargain for anyone who loves Meursault but balls at today's prices. This delivers the lemony, headily scented richness in a somewhat leaner but immensely flavorful package. Crisp, beautiful texture, loveley finish

Day drinking with @ADAM STROMFELD Gorgeous single vineyard; apple, citrus, pineapple, along with a nice nuttiness. Drank this at room temp and it was singing. Need to pull one at cellar temp next.

This is ripe, structured white Burgundy. 30% new French oak with battonage. Fruit from a 13 acre monopole. 2015 will cellar very well. This wine knows it’s good.

Great warmer-upper tonight. After cocktails, a pleasant Burgundy is a treat. This is a 2012.
