The 2022 Olivier Merlin Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse is an exceptional Chardonnay that showcases the potential of the Mâconnais region in southern Burgundy. Olivier Merlin, one of the most respected producers in the area, is known for crafting terroir-driven wines with precision and elegance. This cuvée, sourced from vineyards in the village of La Roche-Vineuse, benefits from limestone-rich soils that impart freshness and minerality.

In the glass, the wine shines with a pale gold color and bright reflections. The nose is expressive and enticing, with aromas of ripe pear, green apple, and lemon zest, complemented by floral notes of acacia and a subtle touch of almond. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, offering flavors of orchard fruits, citrus, and a hint of honey. A lively acidity and a fine mineral backbone lend energy and complexity, leading to a long, refreshing finish.

The 2022 vintage, shaped by warm growing conditions, provides ripe fruit flavors while preserving the vibrant acidity characteristic of Mâconnais wines. This wine pairs wonderfully with seafood, roasted poultry, or creamy pastas, and it is equally enjoyable as an aperitif. While ready to drink now for its bright fruit and lively texture, it has the structure to evolve over the next 3–5 years. Olivier Merlin’s Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse is a testament to his expertise in elevating this appellation to new heights, delivering both charm and sophistication.
