Nicolas & Jay Chardonnay Affinites Valley

A Chardonnay with a clear line: fresh, precise, and with enough depth to also be convincing with food.

Nicolas & Jay stand for artisan-crafted white wines from the Affinites Valley — a style that keeps fruit and structure in balance without drifting into heavy butter notes or excessive use of wood.

In the glass, the Chardonnay shows a delicate straw yellow. On the nose, citrus zest, white flowers, and a hint of orange zest, which open up with some air to melon and ripe peach. On the palate, it appears focused with a lively acid structure — mandarin and crisp white peach dominate the mid-palate before a long, mineral-fresh finish follows.
