The 2022 Domaine Olivier Merlin Mâcon-La Roche-Vineuse Vieilles Vignes comes from old Chardonnay vines rooted in the clay-limestone soils of southern Burgundy. This vintage offers a fragrant bouquet of ripe apple, pear, and white peach, accented by hints of citrus blossom, almond, and subtle spice from well-judged oak. On the palate, it is generous yet precise, with a creamy texture balanced by fresh acidity and a persistent mineral finish that reflects its terroir.
