White dry
"Domaine Faiveley Mercurey Clos Rochette 2021" is an exceptional white Burgundy wine produced from a 5.45-hectare vineyard that belongs exclusively to the Domaine Faiveley estate. This unique single-owner status ensures unparalleled quality control and shapes a "Chardonnay" wine entirely dependent on the distinctiveness of this particular terroir.
The wine boasts an enticing aromatic palette – from white flowers to subtle spices. On the palate, it reveals a pleasant freshness that later becomes rounder and smoother due to oak aging. Harmoniously blended flavors create a subtle and perfectly balanced wine.
The vineyard, located near La Framboisière, is characterized by hard, stony soil. The southeastern exposure and 5 hectares of clay and limestone soil in this terroir help to highlight the true Burgundian "Chardonnay" style.
A small portion of the wine is aged in oak barrels for 10–12 months.
Serve at 12-14 °C with fresh salmon, pike in a white butter sauce, farm-bred chicken in a morel mushroom sauce.
Since 1825, the Faiveley family has worked with deep respect in the heart of Burgundy – in the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise regions – where prestigious Grands Crus and Premiers Crus wines are born. The secrets and passion of winemaking, passed down from generation to son, have allowed Domaine Faiveley to become the largest family-owned vineyard estate in Burgundy today, managing an impressive portfolio of 13 Grands Crus, 35 Premiers Crus, and 28 village wines. The wines of this producer are consistently characterized by elegance and impeccable quality.
