Mercurey “Clos Rochette” Domaine Faiveley

Millésime 2018. “A little more savoury on the nose than the Rully “Les Villeranges”, a little less immediately fruity. Creamy texture and crisp acidity. Not as immediately appealing as the Rully but likely to be a little longer lived. Drink 2020 – 2023″

Millésime 2017. “From a stony parcel adjacent to Faiveley’s Framboisière, the 2017 Mercurey Clos Rochette is showing very well indeed, wafting from the glass with scents of citrus oil, spring blossom, nutmeg and pastry cream. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bo- died, with a delicately textural attack, excellent cut and concentration and a chalky finish. It will be well worth seeking out.” by William Kelley.

Millésime 2017. “A lean version, displaying apple, lemon cake and baking spice flavors. Compact, yet balanced and vibrant, presenting a mix of fruit and spicy oak on the long finish. Drink now through 2023.” by Bruce Sanderson
