Domaine Michele & Patrice Rion

Terres Blanches 1Er Cru Nuits-St-Georges 2019

The wine impresses with its depth, richness, complexity, length and individuality. With Nuits-Saint-Georges, one thinks immediately of red wine, and it's true: Nuits-Saint-Georges whites are rare. Traditionally, winegrowers in the Côte de Nuits made their whites from Pinot Blanc. Their 1.3 hectares of this wine contains only 10% of that variety. Crystal clear and bright, the wine is pale gold with green tints in its youth, becoming progressively more golden with age. The initial nose is light and floral, evolving into ripe citrus and tart clementine notes. As the wine ages, the aromas turn to white peaches and elderberries. The palate is rich with a noticeable freshness. The Chardonnay component brings structure and a lovely minerality and the pinot blanc adds complexity.
