Pretty gold colour with green tints. Nose develops lime aromas, yellow fruits, citrus, vanilla aroma and brioch. Light caramel notes.Touch of spiciness and great complexity.On the palate, great oaky character, long and persistant aftertaste. Balanced and dense.
"The 2017 Mercurey 1er Cru La Mission Blanc reveals a more reserved bouquet of pear, wheat toast, waxy citrus rind and fresh peach. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and bright, though a bit shut down by its recent bottling, concluding with a saline finish. It derives from a sandy premier cru that overlooks the Clos du Roi."
