The Affinités draws on three sites: Bishop Creek, their organically farmed estate in Yamhill-Carlton, plus Spirit Hill and Von Oehsen in the Eola-Amity Hills. Barrel-fermented with native yeasts, 13 months in French oak at 25% new — enough texture, not enough to show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage was a hard year. Spring frosts knocked out roughly 60% of Nicolas-Jay’s Chardonnay crop; what survived is concentrated. Wine Enthusiast gave it 93 points: “juicy and crisp in the mouth, with its blazing acidity and flavors of guava, chamomile tea, lemon grass and honeycomb.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt; style=\"margin: 0;\"\u0026gt;\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eRoast chicken with herbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eacidity cuts through fat; stone fruit and chamomile mirror the herb crust\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003ePan-seared scallops\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ehoneyed texture against briny sweetness; the citrus holds against browning butter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eAged Gruyère\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003enuttiness echoes the lemon-honeycomb register; bracing acidity keeps it clean\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Domaine Nicolas-Jay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67678964351205,"sku":"zee1791820059032","price":44.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/4561\/8405\/files\/nicolas-jay-affinities-chardonnay-2022-750ml_1.jpg?v=1791820069","url":"https:\/\/perovia.shop\/products\/nicolas-jay-affinities-chardonnay-2022-750ml","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
