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. (Neal Martin, Vinous, November 2021)

This is a great example of Burgundy that is well-made and a great value. Drinks like a baby Meursault. Nice weight and richness, leesy, ripe citrus notes, minerals, fresh. Acidity is a touch lower but creates a broad and open texture. Lovely with creamy cheese and cordon bleu — 8 years ago
