Les Combes Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay
Classic expression displaying a harmonious balance between fruit and floral aromas, density and suppleness, power and finesse. This vintage seems to be in a great place for drinking now with an excellent concentration of fruit to support the briny mineral component. Palate-coating and generous in character, but showing great freshness and buoyancy.

It's no secret that 15 isn't my favorite vintage for white Burgundy, but this producer has been solid throughout. There's enough of a reductive outer shell to contain the ripe, rich fruit. Pretty tasty.

Нос полный, выраженный, минеральный, с легким оксидативным тоном. Относительно полное тело, немного жаркий вкус. Моченое яблоко, цедра грейпфрута, аккуратные кремневые тона, иногда пробивается легкая горечь на финише. Мощный стиль, с хорошим объемом и кислотностью, чуть заигрывающий с оксидативностью. Совсем немного не достаёт глубины.
