Olivier Merlin, Macon La Roche-Vineuse, 2016

Olivier Merlin is one of the finest winemakers in the Macon — his wines are benchmarks for the region — and yet he still flies somewhat under the radar, which keeps the prices honest. This 2016 from La Roche-Vineuse is a mature white Burgundy now hitting a lovely stride, with the extra layers that come from a decade in bottle. Expect rich orchard fruit gone slightly honeyed, toasted nuts, and a deep mineral cut that keeps it fresh. This is in a beautiful drinking window right now — don't wait too much longer.
