Le Nardian is the product of a wager between their now-retired Consulting Oenologue, Gilles Pauquet (also consultant to Château Cheval Blanc, Figeac and Canon) and JCP Maltus, that a low cropped white would see similar benefits to a red wine.
Le Nardian has, as one of its major components, Muscadelle - a cousin of Viognier. They manage to get an almost Rhône-style sense with the wine as its aromatic quality comes to the fore.
Drinking window: 2025 - 2033
What the critics say:
"A layered and rich white with sliced apples, lemon rind and some hints of vanilla and dried apricots. It’s full-bodied but remains very fresh. Phenolic framing. It’s exotic at the end. Seriously enticing. Southern Rhone-like in many ways. Kosher. 70% sauvignon blanc, 15% semillon and 15% muscadelle. Drink or hold."
"The 2023 Nardian is a classic Jonathan tv1altus wine. Rich, deep and explosive, the 2023 offers up a compelling mix of citrus confit, jasmine, marzipan, tangerine oil and passionfruit. The viscous, exotic style is so compelling."
