Many of you have raved about his Oregon Pinots that have pretty much become a Nicholas Wines exclusive and Bertrand has been very generous with his pricing for his ‘Nicholas friends’ (that’s you guys).
But Bertrand called me last week, asking me(?!?) for a favor. It seems the ambitious winemaker just couldn’t help himself and while working on his Oregon Pinot Project, he decided to begin work on a clandestine Chardonnay.
The winemaker responsible for the 11-thousand dollar per bottle DRC Montrachet just fell in love with a tiny parcel of Oregon Chardonnay, atop Winter’s Hill in the Dundee Hills and adjacent from Domaine Serene. “With breezy, cool nights, it bore a surprising resemblance to my favorite Vosne-Romanée parcels. I couldn’t help myself. Just four barrels. What’s the harm?”
Well – the harm was he didn’t necessarily have the blessing of the brass back home and they didn’t really want their five figure per bottle winemaker lending his hands to a Chardonnay off the books.

It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2020 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
What would a Chardonnay collection be without something special from the master of Chardonnay, Steve Kistler? I was able to get a more cases to offer up at our lowest price. Les Noisetiers surrounds the Kistler winery on the Sonoma Coast. Steve’s brand new 2020 is bristling with energy juicy fruit and a mouthwatering mineral backbone. It is delicious wine, with lemon, honeysuckle and stone fruit aromatics leading to a full bodied, juicy core, loaded with flavors of peach, apricots, pineapple and pear.
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
Guess who is the first one to have the roaring new 2021 vintage for the Mer Soleil Reserve Chardonnay? That’s right! We’ve officially made it. This is one that Nicholas Wines readers can’t get enough of – it always delivers.. It leads with an inviting nose with fresh citrus and lemon notes. So juicy, bright and well-balanced – it’s classic Caymus, rich and hedonistic with a wonderful creaminess. Be the first one to lock into this great new vintage.
