2023 Domaine Faiveley Mercurey 'Clos Rochette'
Clos Rochette is a 5.45-hectare south-east-facing monopole owned by Domaine Faiveley since 1933, in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise. A benchmark white from this lesser-known Burgundian sub-region, it is crafted to express both site purity and Faiveley's hallmark precision.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay.
Terroir: Stony clay-limestone soils that give the vineyard its name. South-east exposure ensures balanced ripening with good acidity preservation.
Harvest: Hand-harvested grapes are sorted at the cellar and pressed gently to preserve aromatic finesse.
Ageing: Fermented and aged for 16 months partly in French oak barrels (around 25% new) with regular bâtonnage on the fine lees, the rest in stainless-steel vat to preserve freshness.
COLOUR: Bright golden hue.
NOSE: Orchard fruit, white flowers, a subtle hint of hazelnut and gentle wood spice.
PALATE: Full-bodied, mineral and well structured, with a long, refined finish.
FOOD PAIRING: Serve at 11-13°C with poultry in cream sauce, lobster, veal, scallops and aged hard cheeses. Drink now or cellar for 5-8 years.
