($21, Becky Wasserman Selection): I first became aware of Domaine Merlin’s wine when I tasted — no, drank — his stunning Moulin-à-Vent in a Paris bistro.  I’ve been a fan ever since.  It turns out that the Domaine makes stunning white wine as well.  This is a great example of the Domaine’s talents.  Cutting and clean, with good body and concentration, it delivers far more precision and character than most wines from the Mâconnais.  I just had the 2010 of this wine in a Paris restaurant.  It has developed beautiful complexity, so there’s not rush.  At this price, the 2013 is a steal for what it offers.
