Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Terres Blanches” bottle

The plot "Les Terres Blanches" located at the edge of the forest of the Mountain on the village of Premeaux-Prissey offers the most famous chardonnays of the appellation. Exposed south, the soil is predominantly limestone, it is light and very filtering. Dotted with small white gravel, it gives its name to the climate.

  • Winemaking

    Aged for 18 months without being racked. The lees were not stirred so as to allow all of the wine's minerality to shine through. A proportion of 50% new French oak barrels was used; they were toasted for a long time and at a low temperature to impart a subtle, delicate flavor to the wine.

  • Nose

    A noble nose mixing aromas of white and yellow fruits as well as subtle notes of flint.

  • Palate

    A tangy wine, silky rather freshness, far from the standards of the appellation.
