Tasting note from from 07.06.2021, Copyright Sebastian Bordthäuser

François de Nicolay is the name of the Négoce business under the management of the family-owned Domaine Chandon de Briailles in Savigny-Lès-Beaune on the Côte de Beaune. This means that only wines are produced and sold that do not come from the estate's own land. The grapes, musts or wines used for this come from certified organic or biodynamic vineyards or plants that are in conversion. The wines are matured in the cellar of Chandon et Briailles and marketed under their own label.

The Savigny-les-Beaune "Les Vermots" comes from the parcel of the same name with vines averaging 30 years old with a planting density of 10,000 vines per hectare. Grown on clay and limestone soils, it combines the ripe fruit of Chardonnay with mineral freshness. It was fermented without added yeasts for one to six months before being aged in barriques for another 12 months. 

Color

Bright straw yellow, radiant and clear.

Nose

The 2018 "Les Vermots" Savigny-les-Beaune Côtes de Beaune Blanc from François de Nicolay is a quiet wine. It doesn't like loud appearances, much less grand gestures. Quiet and introverted, with a little citrus and wet chalk on the nose, it is rather restrained in terms of aromatics. A little chervil and lemon balm in the top note crown it all.

Mouth

On the other hand, it makes its appearance on the palate, where it is straightforward and focused. With a clear entry, it combines its vibrant acidity with tart phenolic and salty minerality. Puristic with an almost stoic performance, it appears sinewy, but not at all gaunt thanks to its fine extract. The large glasses and a correspondingly purified kitchen underline its sensitive nature.
