From Domaine Jean-Pierre Guyon in France’s Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, the Les Argillas Pinot Blanc 2022 is a refined 100% Pinot Blanc sourced from a rare parcel of the Gouges mutation in the clay-rich Les Argillats vineyard, featuring clay-limestone soils that impart intensity and vibrancy. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2022 vintage—characterized by warm days and cool nights yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo gentle pneumatic pressing, fermentation in French oak barrels with early malolactic conversion, and 12 months' aging in oak to enhance texture and complexity. Certified organic since 2012, this production emphasizes minimal intervention and terroir expression, yielding a pale gold wine with green highlights and poised elegance.
Tasting Notes An elegant, mineral-driven white with vibrant citrus and creamy richness, reflecting Nuits-Saint-Georges's clay-limestone terroir. The nose reveals apricot, peach, citrus zest, and hints of grilled bread and star anise. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with bright acidity, creamy texture, and flavors of agrumes, dried fruits, and subtle minerality, leading to a long, dynamic finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2022 Les Argillas Pinot Blanc earned 92 points from Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy) for its vibrant fruit and precise, mineral-driven structure.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 10-12°C with 20-30 minutes of chilling to accentuate aromas. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, white meats, or soft cheeses. Enjoy now through 2032, during which it will develop enhanced nutty and honeyed nuances.
