Pierre Yves Colin Morey St Aubin La Chateniere 1er Cru 2018 (750ML)

91-94 JM / 91 BH

Still with green tints but now a bit of lemon with the lime. Sheltered from the wind and sunny at both ends of the day, so now the first to be picked in St-Aubin. Two plots of old vines, 55 and 60 years old. Gorgeous racy fruit here set in a wealth of ripe apple, with a fine thread of acidity, beautifully concentrated and very long. Tasted: October 2019 Jasper Morris – Inside Burgundy

Tasting note: There is just enough post-bottling SO2 to interfere slightly with the slightly exotic white orchard fruit aromas that are trimmed in a subtle dollop of wood. There is fine richness and volume to the caressing medium weight flavors that also possess a beguiling texture before culminating in a focused, complex and attractively persistent finish. This is sufficiently forward that it should be approachable after only 3 to 4 years if desired. Outstanding – Top Value. Allen Meadows - Burghound
