Domaine Rion Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Terres Blanches - 2022 (750ml)

(90-92) points Vinous Media

The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Terres Blanches, a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Blanc that are vinified separately. This has a composed bouquet, taut and fresh, quite mineral-driven  compared to the Bourgogne Blanc. The palate is well-balanced with fine delineation and vigor. It's broad and "sunny" Nuits Saint-George with pineapple and white peach notes towards the finish. Fine - Neal Martin Nov '23

Winemaker's Notes:

Tasting notes
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 notes of ripe citrus and tart clementines. 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. With a bit of age, minerality, with the pinot blanc adding complexity. The wine impressed with its depth, richness, complexity, length and individuality.

Drinking tips
Ideal for accompanying seafood, from the simplest – shrimp and prawns – to the most elegant, such as lobster and scallops. It goes equally well with white meats such as veal or rabbit, and with cheeses.
Serve at around 12C-13C. Will age well for 2-8 years
