Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
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. This is from a 1.21-hectare plot at the top of the slope, close to the domaine, with chalky soils. It’s zesty and fragrant, with peachy stone fruit and white blossom intertwined. With only around 5% new oak, this is a delicious, floral, and saline white which matches the calibre of the estate’s fantastic range of reds.
The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Terres Blanches has a crisp and lively bouquet with more vigor than the Bourgogne Chardonnay: Conference pears and dew-speckled green apples. The palate opens fresh and vibrant, a little peachy on the entry but with racy acidity to counterbalance. Maybe it cuts away a little too swiftly on the finish, but otherwise this is a fine Pinot Blanc/Chardonnay combo to enjoy over the next five or six years.
