NUITS SAINT GEORGES 1er Cru "Terres Blanches"
Vivacous lighter more refreshing wines may be sparkling, white or rosé, and also may be sweet or dry. However, all are on the brighter and tangier end of the flavor spectrum and will never feature oaky flavors.
FOOD PAIRING: Flattering with almost EVERYTHING, but best for RAW & COLD FOODS, LOW-FAT FOODS & SPICY FOODS.

Description
Tasting Notes
The Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation has only 6.79 ha of white premier cru. A rarity! 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.Please note that this is an imported wine and cannot legally be shipped to AL, GA, IA, IL, IN, LA, ME, MI, MO, MT, OH, SD, VA or WV
WinemakingAppearance:The color is bright yellow with golden reflections.
Aroma:The rich nose will seduce you with its very floral, lime and sweet spice aromas associated with buttery notes.
Palate:On the palate, the wine is very full and offers great tension for a solar vintage!
Tech NotesVintage Notes:2018, abundance and excellence After a winter that was almost too mild, the vintage was notable for two contrasting periods. Spring was sunny and totally devoid of frost, despite some localized episodes of hail, which had major impact on certain plots on the Côte de Nuits, which were hit in June. Then the summer was dry and hot, blocking the ripening process in places. Picking began early, with exceptionally abundant fruit in tip-top condition, offering the potential for some very fine wines. Ageing potential: from 5 to 10 years.
