Le Nardian 2022 (750ML)

95-96 JS / 92-94 WI / 92-94 JD / 90-92 VM / 90 DE

Very rich and dense with dried apple, pineapple and honey. Crushed stone. Flavorful and powerful. Still fresh with a pH of 3.45. It’s nicely framed with phenolics. A blend of 70% sauvignon blanc, 15% semillon and 15% muscadelle. - James Suckling

A blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Semillon, and 15% Muscadelle, the 2022 Le Nardian skips out with bright, vivacious notes of lemon curd, fresh grapefruit, and white peaches, leading to hints of beeswax, coriander seed, and chalk dust. The full-bodied palate is vibrant and refreshing, with bags of stoned fruit and citrus flavors and a decadent oiliness to the texture, finishing long and chalky. pH 3.45. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent

The 2022 Le Nardian checks in as 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Sémillon, and 15% Muscadelle. It’s another beautiful effort from this team displaying exotic notes of fresh pineapple, honeyed citrus, and flowers, as well as a kiss of mint that emerges with time in the glass. Medium-bodied and vibrant on the palate, it has bright acidity, a great texture, and outstanding length. - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2022 Nardian Blanc is rich and exotic, as it usually is. Lemon confit, ginger, white flowers and passionfruit all race as this unctuous, textured white wafts up from the glass. As always, Nardian is one of the most distinctive dry whites in Bordeaux. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

So aromatic; white pepper, lemon blossom, ginger, clementine, jasmine, flint and graphite. Supple but energetic, thick but fresh, juicy but not so acidic. The focus is on the texture, weight and aromatics - the Muscadelle really speaks with the Sauvignon Blanc giving a zing. - Georgina Hindle, Decanter
