Mylène and Benoit of Domaine Nicolas are members, so I thought there’d be further talent to discover here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne sniff of this wine and I knew I’d found The One. A flinty, nutty, citrusy nose, followed by a broad, textured and complex palate - this is premium white Burgundy heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJulien Gros is a bit of an outlier in Savigny-Lès-Beaune, a village much better known for its reds. 80% of Julien’s production is white wine, and being the tenth generation in his family to make wine, it’s fair to say that he knows what he's doing at this point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s from a small, south-facing vineyard on clay-limestone soil called Clos du Village. Even better, the vineyard is a 'Monopole', which is the rarest of rare things in Burgundy - a whole enclosed plot owned by a single producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is aged for 14 months in 50% new oak barrels, and this combination of ripeness, minerality from the soil, and influence from the oak, makes it a full-flavoured, opulent Chardonnay, full of elegance and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a gem of a wine from a young prodigy in Burgundy, and at under €40... it's a steal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WineSpark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56849956077899,"sku":"DJGSLB22","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0645\/5483\/files\/WS-HighKey-0105.jpg?v=1715952885","url":"https:\/\/winespark.com\/products\/domaine-julien-gros-savigny-les-beaune-blanc-2022","provider":"WineSpark","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
