One of the great St. Aubins. Sick nose of confectionery green apple, iodine, flowers, smells like elite Chasssagne. Deep and very aromatic nose. So expressive. The green apple is so vivid. Fresh and a hint of candied. Wow what a palate just a rocket of acidity, green apple, lime zest and hint of spree, candied apple skin and intense florals plus minerality. Awesome sweetness and depth. What length and poise. This is wake me up before you go go white burgundy. Fantastic finish and stunning purity.

A great wine. Nose is god like mineral perfume. Crushed rocks. Lime zest. So mineral. Wafting. Confectionary lime rock candy. Layered. Palate is dense and chewy with terrific elegance and superb structure and concentration. Amazingly pure. Such balance. Incredible depth and a tight mineral core that will make this a great ager. Unreal explosiveness and complexity. So juicy and refined. Amazing length. Just a stunning wine. Superb mineral sweetness on the finish. This is elite as it gets in St. aubin.

Nose is lightly fruited. White flowers.

Palate is nicely mineral. Nice elegant fruit.

As this opens so beautiful. Perfect balance. Needs a 45 minute decant.

Nose is amazing. Balanced richness. Seashell.

Palate is juicy lightly tropical fruit. Some honey. Rich finish.

This flirts with heat or if rank it higher.

As it opens the heat integrates mostly. More mineral on the palate. Pretty hedonistic.

I Still prefer his more geeky chassagnes but most people will prefer this.
