Domaine Nicolas Saint-Romain 'En Chevrot' 2021
WineSpark Price €35.67
Based in the small village of Nolay in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Domaine Nicolas have been making wine here since the French revolution.
Their wines on WineSpark have taken Ireland by storm - led by John Wilson, who named their Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc as one of his 12 wines of the year in the Irish Times.
So I had to go back and see what other whites they did. And they didn't let me down with this gem of a wine.
This is complex, broad and elegant Chardonnay from an underrated village next to Meursault.
So if Meursault is your thing (or if you’d like it to be), try this for a fraction of the price.
Due to extremely limited supply, there's a limit of 2 bottles per customer on this wine.

Finding value in Burgundy is like finding a needle in a haystack. Luckily for you, I have connections with their finger on the pulse of young, upcoming producers and that is how Domaine Nicolas came to my attention.
The Nicolas family has been making the wine here since the French Revolution - Mylene and Benoit are the 6th generation to make the stuff.
