Domaine Theulot-Juillot Mercurey Les Chenaults Blanc 2022

Domaine Theulot-Juillot Mercurey Les Chenaults Blanc comes from a fully south-facing, mid-slope climat raised mostly in stainless steel to keep its limestone freshness.

Mercurey is the largest appellation of the Côte Chalonnaise and is far better known for red than white, which makes good white Mercurey worth seeking out. Les Chenaults lies west of the village in a mid-slope position with full southern orientation, on clay-limestone soils rich in marl. That combination gives a wine with both grip and flesh: tension and chewy phenolics on one side, an enveloping texture on the other. Nathalie Theulot and her family raise three-quarters of this cuvée in stainless steel vat precisely to accentuate the site’s freshness, with the balance in barrel for breadth. The result is bright and generous rather than opulent, with golden orchard fruit, a sappy edge and a little iodine and almond complexity, pulled taut by citrus acidity.

Drinking well now and over the next four or five years. Serve at 10-12°C with roast pork, chicken in cream or grilled king prawns.
