Nicolas-Jay, Willamette Valley (Oregon) Chardonnay 2019

May 17, 2022

By Miranda Franco

 Nicolas-Jay is a collaboration between Burgundian winemaker Jean-Nicolas Méo (Domaine Méo-Camuzet) and renowned music entrepreneur Jay Boberg (who co-founded I.R.S Records).  With each swirl of the glass, new elements reveal themselves in the form of crushed stones, lemon curd, citrus blossoms, and orange zest.  The palate is precise with bright acidity and a richness moderated by the crushed minerality notes.
