Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse, Mâconnais, Burgundy, France
The 2019 Mâcon La Roche Vineuse Vieilles Vignes is completely barrel fermented; however, since ‘03 Merlin has utilised less new oak, currently using around 10-15%. The 2019 is well-defined on the nose with hints of white flowers and orange blossom. The palate is quite spicy and peppery, a powerful Mâcon with just a light touch of honey towards the finish. Very fine. (Neal Martin, Vinous, November 2021)

Had it after the clos mosny la taille aux loups... well it doesn’t compare at all so maybe I’m biased

Buttery and creamy. There's a herb note of verbena and ginger/honey
