Mercurey “Clos Rochette”is a distinctive, mineral-driven Chardonnay from one of Domaine Faiveley’s historic monopole vineyards in the Côte Chalonnaise. The parcel sits on compact, stony clay-limestone soils that are famously difficult to work—hence the name Rochette —yet these conditions produce white wines of remarkable richness, tension and purity. Hand-harvested fruit is gently pressed before undergoing a long, four-week fermentation. A portion of the wine (55%) is aged in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new, while the remainder matures in tank. After 16 months of ageing with regular bâtonnage, the wine emerges as an elegant, precise Chardonnay with impressive depth and freshness.

Production
The grapes for Clos Rochette are harvested and sorted by hand before pressing in a pneumatic press to preserve delicacy and clarity. Fermentation takes place over four weeks, with 55% of the must fermented and aged in French oak barrels—including 25% new oak—to add subtle spice and texture. The remaining portion matures in stainless steel to maintain freshness and vibrancy. The wine rests for 16 months with careful lees stirring, integrating oak influence while keeping the mineral backbone intact.
Tasting Notes
Clos Rochette opens with beautifully complex aromas of white flowers, lemon sherbet and gentle spice. The palate carries striking tension and energy, delivering citrus brightness alongside a smooth, weighted text
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
