Antonin Rodet – Château de Mercey 2016 – Hautes-Côtes de Beaune

The nose is fruity, well-structured, well-built and offers freshness as well as a fine crunchiness. It reveals notes of crunchy nectarine, pear and small notes of citrus associated with small hints of quince, beeswax as well as a very discreet hint of honey. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, well-built, precise and offers elegance, a beautiful definition, a beautiful acidulous frame, suavity, a good structure as well as a fine delicacy. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy / juicy peach, quenette and small notes of apple associated with touches of juicy citrus as well as a hint of crunchy pineapple and an imperceptible hint of quince (in the background). Good length.
