The white wines of Saint-Aubin have a remarkable ability to slowly improve, a unique style and trait of the Chardonnay: 6 to 10 even 15 years. Slightly pale gold green bouquet combining green almond, the marzipan (or almond paste), beeswax, amber and a touch of pepper flavors. The finesse and elegance bring harmony to the palate. Fine cuisine will partner with the white wines of Saint-Aubin: fish in cream sauce, puff pastry, foie gras, white meats, strong cheeses.

N/Apts The Wine Advocate– 2016 vintage

FOR THE 2016 VINTAGE
The 2016 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru is a blend of Frionnes, Les Combes au Sud, En Montceau, La Chatenière and Sur Gamay since they were all damaged by frost. It has a fragrant bouquet with white flowers, yellow plum and just a hint of toffee apple. The palate is well balanced with a brioche and white peach-infused opening, quite harmonious with a gentle, caressing finish. It is very approachable and charming. Two barrels produced.
