93 William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Aromas of sweet lemon, orange and pear mingled with a hint of spearmint introduce the 2023 Mercurey 1er Cru Les Croichots Blanc, a medium- to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate, built around lively acids and chalky structure. This is typically the most forward Mercurey premier cru in the cellar, but this year's rendition seems unusually serious.
