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.
Optimal drinking window: Now - 2028
What the critics say:
"Medium-to full-bodied with a fleshy array of waxed lemons, apricot stones, lemon grass and dried pineapples. Fresh, too. Just a hint of white pepper at the end. Layered and structured. Bitter-lemon notes. Serious for the vintage. 70% sauvignon blanc, 15% muscadelle and 15% semillon."
"The white 2021 Le Nardian might just be the best yet, made in a lively, fresh style while still showing good concentration. Based on 70% Sauvignon, 20% Semillon and 10% Muscadelle, it's medium-bodied, has a floral, exotic style, plenty of minerality, and classic tangerine and peach-like fruit. This clean, vibrant, balanced white will drink nicely for 4-6 years, if not longer."
