Saint-Aubin1er cru

“The 2017 Saint-Aubin 1er cru has a lovely strawberry scented bouquet – close your eyes and you might thinkh this was a red wine ! The palate is well balanced with a creamy veneer, touches of orange pith and apricot with a generous, seductive finish that is going to be difficult to resist in its youth. Lovely.”

“Aromas of green pear, beeswax and white flowers precede a glossy, textural wine of lovely purity and a taut core of juicy acids and minerality that lingers trough the finish. Anne Morey anticipates that this cuvée will gain additional tension during its second winter on the lees.”  90 points

Burgundy Report – Bill Nanson 2016-11

“A hint of oak at the base of a very fine freshness. Lovely fresh complexity and quite some volume too – here is plenty of mid-palate oak flavour (not texture) but it’s still a lovely finish.”

“Vibrant nose, a faintly textured blend of fruit and herb. A nice citrus acidity here.”

87-90 – “This is relatively elegant with its white flower, pear, white peach and wet stone suffused nose. There is a light minerality to the round, upple and delicious flavors that possess good punch on the bright, dry and midly tangy finish that offers reasonably good depth and length.”

16/20

87-89 points –  “An airy, ripe and elegant nose of primarily white flowers aromas that are nuanced by hints of citrus peel lead to rich, full and naturally sweet flavors…”

93 pts –  “Soft, though quite minerally, flavors of lime, pineapple and dusty slate show excellent balance…”

“Creamy texture, a touch of honeysuckle and very vibrant acidity. Very good.”

“This is plump… Good plus, positive finish.”

“It is zesty, quite straight, plenty of fruit and a slightly savoury on the finish which is somewhat dry.”
