The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru La Chatenière is very promising, wafting from the glass with aromas of green orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, citrus zest, white toast, pastry cream and gunflint. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, its pretty core of fruit is girdled by bright acids and chalky structuring extract.
Old vines, 30–60 years old. Tank sample. Pale lemon. Broad with toned minerality; quite expressive and open. (MH)
Mid lemon colour while the nose stands out with an extra nobility on top of Champlots. Powerful white fruit with a little lemon touch, opulent but balanced, some attractive flesh at the finish and very good length. Fine fresh tingle of youthful acidity at the finish. Tasted: October 2021
