Tasting Notes

Firm reduction renders the nose impossible to assess at present. Otherwise there is excellent punch though not the same mid-palate density to the lighter weight flavors that possess a lovely texture. I like the sense of energy and the delivery but pretty as this is, it's definitely on the lighter side.

55-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 wind. 50% lost to frost.
Smells a little riper than the Le Banc. Really attractive nutty aroma. More stone fruit on the nose then tight, lively citrus on the palate and just the merest touch of creamy smoky oak. Quite full on the mid palate, then pulls in tight on the finish.
