Domaine Faiveley Domaine Faiveley Mercurey Blanc Clos Rochette 2022 750ml

This is brimming with flinty character that lights up the restrained citrus and pear fruit on the generous, medium-bodied palate. Very long, elegant, fresh finish with a salty minerality that gives it excellent tension. From a five-hectare monopole site. From organically grown grapes. Matured two thirds in oak, mostly in 300-liter barrels, and one third in stainless steel. Drink or hold. (Stuart Pigott)

The 2022 Mercurey Blanc Clos Rochette bursts with aromas of pear, orange blossom and buttery pastry, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and satiny palate that's charming and demonstrative.
