2020 Chateau Gris (Albert Bichot) 'Les Terrasses' Blanc Nuits-Saint-Georges

Winemaker Notes:  The nose develops aromas with predominant floral and mineral nuances along with a hint of toast. On the palate, this wine is very straightforward and round with a distinct mineral base, some nuances of licorice, and an elegant, discrete woody flavor. Good overall length.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Decanter - "White wines are rare in the Côte de Nuits, especially of this quality. Grown above the town on terraces, as its name makes clear, this comes from very poor soils and is suitably chiselled, focused and well-balanced. With well-integrated 20% new wood, crunchy citrus and limestone flavours and a long, tangy finish, this is a delightful Chardonnay."


Wine Enthusiast - "Floral, nutty and creamy elements combine intrigtuingly on the nose of this wine and continue on the bright, poised palate. Stoniness, texture, yeast and concentration make for an intense mouthfeel surrounded by freshness. It's an elegant wine with inherent balance."
