Pierre Yves Colin Morey St Aubin La Chateniere 1er Cru 2021 (750ML)

92-94 VM / 90-92 WA / 16+ JR

The 2021 Saint-Aubin Les Chatenière 1er Cru, whose malo finished earlier than others back in July, is exceedingly complex on the nose with mineral-rich malic scents, intense and beautifully defined, very Pulignyinspired. The palate is well-balanced with a powerful opening, impressive depth and tension, superb mineralité and a bright, again, Puligny-like finish. Superb.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Offering up aromas of crisp Anjou pear, lemon oil, toasted nuts, iodine and white flowers, the 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru La Chatenière is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with good tension, depth and persistence. It's another cuvée that shows very well this year.-William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Westerly exposure on one of St-Aubin’s historic Chardonnay sites. Three different parcels with very steep aspect. Cask sample.
Mid lemon. Citrus led, with peach and a touch of apricot. Obviously more mature fruit with moderate, brisk acidity. Racy and richer. Long.-Matthew Hayes, JancisRobinson
