2022 Joseph Faiveley Mercurey Clos Rochette Blanc

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.
