Hailing from the Rocks District

Although an infant

A sanguine nose glimmers with the tang of top soil and iron

It is a great red wine produced by Thierry Germain of Domaine Roches Neuves in Saumur

Nicolas-Jay 'Affinites' Chardonnay, Willamette Valley, USA 2022 Chateau Margaux Hailing from the Rocks DistrictThe Chardonnay version of L'Ensemble, the 2022 Chardonnay Affinites is a barrel selection and a vintage and appellation wine. It pours a brilliant yellow silver color and leads with notes of citrus oils, delicate toast, wet stone, white mushroom, and white peach. Medium bodied and approachable, it floats on the palate with good extract and should age with ease over the coming 6 8 years. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
