Although they account for a minute percentage of overall production the white wines of Nuits-St-Georges have a proud history. Interestingly, Pinot Blanc, as well as Chardonnay, is permitted under the AOC, and this cuvée from the Rions has a little dash in the blend. It’s zesty and fragrant, with peachy stone fruit and white blossom intertwined. It’s clearly much more than a curiosity: this is an important bit of Nuits’ living history, and a delicious white which matches the calibre of the estate’s fantastic range of reds.
80 chardonnay%, 20 pinot blanc%. Fresh mid lemon. There is some density evident on the nose, suggestive of a little more flesh this year. Then in fact a fresher and leaner fruit behind, very good acidity, crunchy apples. Fine length, a white Nuits that is capable of ageing. Drink from 2025-2033. Tasted: October 2023.
