Saint-Aubin, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
This is so damn good. Nose is so saline. So mineral and so focused. Ultra clean. Fantastic palate. Chewy, dense and so nimble with terrific freshness and purity. And my god this is like a liquid salt lick. Also a bit of lemon drop on the mid palate and finish. Succulent and sumptuous. Really round and incisive. Just utterly delicious. Can’t wait to see what air does. Long, lingering finish that shows off the supernal balance. Now some brown sugar on the nose along with sea breeze and meyer lemon. This is so good. What texture now that it’s aired. So dense and sapid. Major structure. Insane concentration.

Aug 31st, 2025Only Julien’s 2nd white 1er Cru and what an outstanding wine. Nose is rich, ripe and buttery with scintillating minerality. Also lemon oil, vanilla extract, plantains and some lime zest. Unique and complex. Palate is lean yet rich with amazing precision and focus but seems to a bit unyielding and will need air. Juicy and laser like in its precision. Super juicy and a zen like serenity on the palate and a gorgeous mineral wash on the finish. Very very pure and sappy and delicate. This is so well made. Lingering finish of lemon flesh and lemon oil. As this aerates its class and finesse really shine through. This is super elegant and all class.
