Another magical wine from Lorenzon is the 2018 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Barraults Blanc, a striking wine that wafts from the glass with aromas of orange blossom, honeycomb and crisp yellow orchard fruit mingled with bright top notes of citrus zest and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, it's satiny and enveloping, with striking concentration without weight and an incisive spine of animating acidity that carries through the long, penetrating finish.
