Product Notes

The Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi Mercury Blanc Bois de Lalier wine is a delightful example of Burgundy's finest offerings. This white elixir, cultivated in the Mercury region and created with pristine Chardonnay grapes, has an alluring aroma with fruity and floral notes. The taste features apple, peach, and honey nuances in stellar balance with a hint of minerality. With a silken finish on the palate, its full-bodied character compliments perfectly with poultry and shellfish. Truly, it depicts well-established French winemaking traditions, capturing the authentic terroir in every bottle. This wine urges one to savour the refined complexity of French white wines.

Tasting Notes

This wine is pale gold in colour and very expressive on the nose with aromas of white pear, fresh apricot and a touch of vanilla. The palate has a lovely texture from the oak ageing, with concentrated flavours of white peach and vanilla balanced with racy acidity.
