Tasting notes
The 2020 Saint-Aubin Les Perrières 1er Cru is more effervescent on the nose with citrus fruit and fine delineation and conveys more energy than many of its peers. This opens nicely in the glass. It is very taut and linear on the palate, but there is genuine complexity plus terroir expression in situ, a silver thread of acidity and real concentration on the back end. The sapidity says, "Coming back for more?" Of course, you will. This exceeds my expectations from barrel. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Open and giving, the 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Perrières exhibits notes of green apple, white flowers and freshly baked bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied, saline and fine-boned palate, concluding with a mineral finish.
The 2020 Saint-Aubin Les Perrières 1er Cru is taut and Puligny-like on the nose with wet limestone, fish scales and a touch of Granny Smith apples. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, then dovetails into a slightly fatter mid-palate where it just foresakes a little precision on the finish. Maybe just a slight reduction at the moment, so give it 2-3 years in bottle. Closure: Diam 10
