About this wine
DOMAINE MICHELE & PATRICE RION Terres Blanches, 1er Cru, Nuits-Saint-Georges
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.

Expert Review
Jasper Morris MW
91-94 points. Now in tank, racked September with fine lees for a few more months. Delicious, with some fennel and liquorice, the underlying richness of the vintage, lower acidity than some, and a touch of vanillin though nicely judged. Much more detail as you get towards the finish and very persistent. Tasted: November 2021.

Allen Meadows
90-92 points. There is a whiff of the exotic on the cool, pure and airy aromas of white peach, passion fruit and citrus blossom. There is both good richness and concentration to the relatively full-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the vibrant, lingering and balanced finale that exhibits a touch of rusticity. Five to six years of aging should see this well-made effort at its peak. Allen Meadows, January 2022. Note: 90% chardonnay and the remainder is pinot blanc.
