Nicolas-Jay Affinités Chardonnay 2019

Nice intensity on the nose, which is nutty and toasty with powerful pear and citrus fruit. Linear, quite mineral, with the concentration and richness nicely restrained with good acidity. Lovely weight here with a fine, spicy finish. Serious effort. [Drink through 2025+.] Score – 94. (Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com, Nov. 7, 2021)
