Francois de Nicolay
Coteaux de Champlitte Chardonnay
France
Surprising négoce wine by François de Nicolay of Chandon de Briailles, one of our favorite producers in Savigny-les-Beaune/Corton. This is 100% Chardonnay sourced from organic/biodynamic vineyards in the Coteaux de Champlitte, a little known appellation north of Jura, in the in the Franche-Comté department. Expressive nose. Vibrant, lovely nose of crisp green apple. Fresh, medium-bodied, mineral, great texture, good acidity

A bit disappointing. A reductive and racy wine to accompany food. Sea breeze, green apple, drugs and white flowers. High and unbalanced acidity. Maybe it was concentrated lemon juice? It's not simple, yet it lacks balance and structure.
