Domaine Meix Foulot, Mercurey Blanc 2020 Burgundy France

Another striking example of how good winemaking, coupled with incredible vineyard produces superb wine just off the well known path. In this case a Chardonnay from just south of the esteemed vineyards of Burgundy's Cotes du Beaune in the Cote Chalonnaise, the village of Mercurey, and the de Launay family who own Domaine Meix Foulot. Their hilltop winery and vineyards overlook the village of Mercurey, and from clay-limestone soils they give us an exquisitely balanced, elegant, complex beautiful Chardonnay. Using just 20% new oak for seasoning, spice and nuance this wine is all about the depth of its fruit. Gorgeous and layered, here is a fine wine to complement a simple roast chicken or anything with cream. Savor every sip...
