Le Nardian is the product of a wager between their now-retired Consulting Oenologue, Gilles Pauquet (also consultant to Chateau Cheval Blanc, Figeac and Canon) and JCP Maltus, that a low cropped white would see similar benefits to a red wine.
Le Nardian has, as one of its major components, Muscadelle - a cousin of Viognier. They manage to get an almost Rhône-style sense with the wine as its aromatic quality comes to the fore.
Drinking window: 2018 - 2026
What the critics say:
"The 2014 Le Nardian has a clean and fresh bouquet with honeysuckle and conference pear aromas, orange cordial emerging with time. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with candied orange peel, peach and rosewater. This is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity and just the right amount of tropical fruit on the finish. Drink over the next three or four years."
"The 2014 Le Nardian is rich, unctuous and tropical in its inflections. Lychee, mango, exotic flowers and sweet spices are all nicely expressive in the glass. A good dose of tvluscadelle gives the wine much of its intensely floral profile. This is a pretty white from Jonathan Maltus. The blend is 60% Sauvignon, 20% Semillon and 20% Muscadelle, aged in large 20H L casks with no lees stirring. "
