Les Terres Blanches Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Chardonnay

WNH virtual tasting - great fun!
This presented in a somewhat idiosyncratic way. The nose displayed apples, pears and a touch of caramel. But the palate was like a chameleon - first, you noticed the typical Chardonnay signature, but it also displayed some SB like (sherbet) notes. A rare white from NSG, as this village, for the most part, produces reds. Medium weight and texture, with a balanced acid profile. Finishes with a flinty note. I’m sure that this wine would have baffled most in a blind tasting, including moi.

First wine of the night! Gorgeous, bracing acidity and minerality. Notes of fresh tangerine and lime - yum!

So unusual, chard from Nuits Saint Georges; smells very petrol (but not on the palate).

Bright, crisp. Marzipan, lemon peel.

Surprised to see such low ratings on this killer wine.

Elegant notes of lime and clementine, with minerality and a touch of saltiness.

Aging beautifully, notes of matchstick, flint, petrol, pear, and peach. Lovely texture and finish, supported by bright acidity.

White wine from a red wine village!
