Working from his humble Beaune cellar, Andrew Nielsen makes wines of great expressiveness and precision that have become absolute hipster favourites. His Du Grappin line, available in pouches only, is a great introduction to his style and philosophy. While his core range is a single-vineyard age worthy affair, for Du Grappin he sources fruit across the Macôn to make a wine designed to be enjoyed young. Not a simple wine though; this is a serious and complex Chardonnay with lovely texture and grip.
