Tasting notes
The 2019 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru La Chatenière unwinds in the glass with notes of pear, hazelnuts, freshly baked bread, dried white flowers and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, it's deep and concentrated, with racy acids and a long, saline finish. This has turned out very well indeed and will reward some patience.

60-year-old vines. One of the first sectors of St-Aubin to be planted with Chardonnay instead of Pinot. This is unusual in St-Aubin because it is steep and south-west facing, very calcareous and has very little exposure to wind. 0.78 ha total in three parcels. Warmer site than Champlots. Now picked before En Remilly. Tank sample. Broader wine. Just a little fat next to Champlots. (JR)
