"The Jasnières “Prémices” from Eric and Clément Nicolas is made from a barrel selection of their Jasnières in the cellar, with the casks that are more forward in personality earmarked for this bottling. Like all of the bottlings from Domaine de Bellivière these days, the Nicolas family allows the style of the vintage to dictate the level of sweetness of the cuvée. Their 2019 Prémices is outstanding, done in a light moelleux style in this vintage and offering up a bright and complex bouquet of pear, sweet quince, a hint of tangerine, chalky soil tones, honeycomb and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and complex, with a superb core, lovely soil undertow, zesty acids and a long, beautifully balanced and very classy finish. This is a gorgeous wine. 2021-2050. "
