Pierre Yves Colin Morey St Aubin Le Banc 2019 (750ML)

91-93 JM / 88-90 WA / 88 BH

A small yield of 30 hl/ha after frost, picked 13th September at 14%, but I did not see any trace of the alcohol when tasting this wine. Pale lime reflections in the colour. This wine begins beautifully with a fresh, chiselled nose, perfectly balanced with considerable energy. Alongside the admirable tension this wine is so full of fruit too, dancing across the palate. Highly Recommended. Tasted: September 2020 –Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

The 2019 Saint-Aubin Le Banc is very promising, delivering aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers and wheat toast. Medium-bodied, bright and incisive, it's racy and precise, with fine depth at the core. Racked to tank not long before my visit for bottling early in the new year, I suspect it will fill out a little as it finishes its élevage. This is one of the easier-to-find wines in the range, and it represents a fine introduction to the house style—and the racy wines of Saint-Aubin. –William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Tasting note: Citrus white orchard fruit aromas trimmed in pretty floral whiffs introduce succulent and round medium weight flavors that possess just enough backend punch to remain balanced. This is not especially complex, but it is certainly delicious on the lemony and agreeably dry finale. Note that this could easily be enjoyed shortly after release. –Allen meadows, Burghound
