The 2022 Domaine Olivier Merlin Saint-Véran La Côte-Rotie is a finely crafted Chardonnay from the southernmost appellation of Burgundy’s Mâconnais region. Sourced from the well-exposed La Côte-Rotie vineyard, this wine displays a vibrant bouquet of lemon zest, ripe pear, white peach, and acacia blossom, complemented by notes of almond and subtle brioche. The palate is elegant yet concentrated, with a silky texture, lively acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish that reflects its limestone-rich terroir.
Serving & Cellaring:
Enjoy in its youth for bright fruit and freshness, or cellar for 4–6 years to develop richer complexity. Perfect alongside seafood, roast poultry, or creamy cheeses.
