Drink it now or cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service. Established in the late 1980s by Olivier Merlin and his wife Corinne, Domaine Merlin is a Southern Burgundy estate located in La Roche-Vineuse, not far from Macon, that produces excellent wines that are expressive of the region's fantastic terroir. The estate is now run by Théo and Paul, the second generation of the family. The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from a few plots located at an average altitude of about 250 meters in the communes of Davayé and La Roche Vineuse. The vines enjoy southern exposure and are rooted in clayey-calcareous Quaternary soil (Bathonian). After manual harvesting and fermentation in oak barrels, the finished wine rests for 10 months in barriques, before bottling. Domaine Merlin Saint Veran reveals a bright golden color with greenish reflections. Its aromatic profile is fresh and elegant, with fragrant notes of wildflowers, hawthorn, and almonds followed by toasted hints. On the palate, it is soft and balanced, broad and mineral, with a fresh and long finish that recalls light savory notes. Try it with buttered sea bream, scallops au gratin, or chicken Caesar salad.
