Château Philippe le Hardi Mercurey Blanc ‘La Brigadière’

The palate is fresh, silky, and quietly savoury, opening with lemon zest, white peach, and crisp apple lifted by bright, medium‑plus acidity that gives the wine a clean Côte Chalonnaise line. Texture is smooth with light creaminess, showing subtle oak that adds shape without heaviness. The mid‑palate brings grapefruit pith, almond meal, gentle spice, and a faint flinty‑mineral thread, adding depth beneath the citrus‑stone fruit. The finish is long, clean, and lightly nutty‑mineral, leaving citrus peel, peach skin, and a soft stony echo.
