Domaine Olivier Merlin Macon Roche-Vineuse Vieilles Vignes 2019
12.5% abv
Vol- 75cl
“The 2019 Mâcon La Roche Vineuse Vieilles Vignes is completely barrel fermented; however, since ‘03 Merlin has utilised less new oak, currently using around 10-15%. The 2019 is well-defined on the nose with hints of white flowers and orange blossom. The palate is quite spicy and peppery, a powerful Mâcon with just a light touch of honey towards the finish. Very fine.” 90 Vinous
