Tasting notes
Pungent aromas of firm reduction and wood overshadow the fruit at present. More interesting are the lush and plush middle weight flavors that possess a caressing and highly seductive mouthfeel before culminating a sappy, clean and dry finish that is supported by ever-so-mildly tangy acidity. I suspect that once this is prepared for the bottling it will have less CO2 and thus the tanginess will naturally diminish, or so my range assumes.*Burghound Outstanding!*

The 2023 Saint-Aubin La Chatenière 1er Cru has more reduction on the nose compared to Colin's other Premier Crus. The palate is fresh on the entry, quite intense with a little flintiness in the background. Once the 2023 is in bottle, its razor-sharp finish is going to be a killer. This might need a bit more time in bottle but it's a superb articulation of this vineyard.(NM)
Aromas of pear, white flowers, nutmeg, toasted hazelnuts and clear honey introduce the 2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru La Chatenière, a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine that's seamless and saline. Precise but open, this will offer a broad drinking window.
