Nicolas Jay Affinites Chardonnay 2022 offers an intricate exploration of Oregon`s Willamette Valley. Aromas of citrus blossom and lemon curd entwined with quince, presenting a complex bouquet. As these fragrances evolve, hints of river rock and fresh rain emerge, culminating in baked apple nuances. The palate showcases a pronounced minerality, where wet stone interacts with flavours of lemon zest and tangy candied apples, balanced by subtle round oaky notes. Nicolas Jay Estate is renowned for its commitment to crafting Burgundy-style wines, stemming from the collaboration of music entrepreneur Jay Boberg and esteemed Burgundy winemaker Jean-Nicolas Méo.
