Average Critic Score: 92.3/100 based on 3 critic reviews

Patrice Rion set up on his own in 1990, and his son Maxime now leads the domaine from Premeaux-Prissey. Terres Blanches is one of their rarest wines, a white Nuits-Saint-Georges, a wine almost no one makes. Chardonnay-led from a single premier cru parcel, it is firm and stony with white orchard fruit and a saline cut, more structured than charming. A curiosity for the cellar and a talking point at the table.

Domaine Patrice et Maxime Rion (Premeaux-Prissey)
Founded 1990, now led by Maxime Rion, with finely perfumed reds across Nuits-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny. Holds Clos Saint Marc, the smallest monopole in Nuits; a serious family address on a rising trajectory.

Critic Reviews

93 Points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

“80 chardonnay%, 20 pinot blanc%. Fresh mid lemon. There is some density evident on the nose, suggestive of a little more flesh this year. Then in fact a fresher and leaner fruit behind, very good acidity, crunchy apples. Fine length, a white Nuits that is capable of ageing. Original score: 91-93 points”

92 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

“A deft application of wood sets off spicier aromas of ripe apple, pear, white flower and more evident citrus influence. The notably finer medium weight flavors possess almost painful intensity before terminating in a chiseled and bone-dry but not really austere finale. This is lovely and a wine built to repay 5 to 8 years of keeping. (Drink starting 2028) Original score: 90-92 points”

92 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous

“The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Terres Blanches, a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Blanc that are vinified separately. This has a composed bouquet, taut and fresh, quite mineral-driven compared to the Bourgogne Blanc. The palate is well-balanced with fine delineation and vigor. It's a broad and "sunny" Nuits Saint-Gorges with pineapple and white peach notes towards the finish. Fine. (Drink between 2024-2034) Original score: 90-92 points”
