WINE DESCRIPTION
This Mercurey Premier Cru Clos des Barraults Blanc is a premium white wine crafted by renowned Burgundy winemaker Michel Juillot. It comes from the Mercurey appellation, which is known for producing some of the finest Chardonnay grapes in the region. The vineyard features limestone-rich soils and a south-facing slope, which provides optimal growing conditions for the grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced and elegant Chardonnay with notes of citrus, white flowers, and oak.
