Crozes-Hermitage Blanc from Domaine Les Hauts de Mercurol is an elegant and expressive white Rh\u00f4ne from the northern part of the valley. The wine comes from the Crozes-Hermitage appellation on the left bank of the Rh\u00f4ne in Dr\u00f4me, where the producer grows its white grapes partly on the well-known Les Pends slope. The cuv\u00e9e is made from 90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne<\/strong>, two classic grape varieties for white Crozes-Hermitage, combining the region\u2019s generous fruit with fine freshness and a clear sense of origin.<\/p>\n

In the glass, the wine shows a golden yellow<\/strong> colour, and the palate is rounded, full-bodied and fresh<\/strong> with notes of meadow flowers, acacia and apricot<\/strong>. The style is dry yet generous, with floral aromatics and good texture, which is very much in line with the appellation\u2019s white wines, known for combining freshness, floral character and a certain fullness on the palate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The soils consist of clay and sand with rounded stones on the slopes<\/strong>, contributing both ripeness and tension. The producer works carefully in the vineyard using products approved for organic farming<\/strong>, pheromone traps instead of insecticides<\/strong>, no chemical weed control and mechanical cultivation between the vines. The climate is temperate, and the ever-present mistral<\/strong> helps the grapes ripen while preserving acidity.<\/p>\n

The winemaking is classic and precise: the grapes are fully destemmed<\/strong>, gently pressed in a pneumatic press<\/strong>, and the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperature<\/strong> on the fine lees with b\u00e2tonnage<\/strong>. The producer does not aim for malolactic fermentation, which helps preserve the wine\u2019s tension. The wine is bottled relatively early after 6\u20139 months of ageing<\/strong>, with around half of the volume aged in new oak barrels<\/strong>, adding texture without overshadowing the fruit. The average vine age is around 30 years<\/strong>, and yields are approximately 40 hl\/ha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is a white wine that pairs very well with fish<\/strong>, especially trout, pike-perch and other freshwater fish<\/strong>, but also works beautifully as an elegant glass on its own. White Crozes-Hermitage is often enjoyed young for its fruit and freshness, but with a few years of bottle age it can develop more mature notes of dried fruit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
