The 2022 Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Blanc from Maxime Cheurlin is a crisp, refreshing Chardonnay that feels both bright and grounded. On the nose, you get clean citrus notes — think lemon peel and grapefruit — complemented by delicate white florals and a whisper of chalky minerality. The palate is lively without being aggressive: there’s a snappy acidity, but the texture is gently rounded thanks to its lees contact. Mid-palate flavours lean toward green apple, citrus pith, and a subtle saline edge that gives the finish a clean, lingering precision. Maxime Cheurlin, famed winemaker for Georges Noëllat, also bottles a negociant range of thrilling wines under his own name, which offer cracking value.
