Extremely nice; at a good balance between butterscotchy age and lemony freshness. Has lost most of the PYCM matchstick but still has the lip smacking tannin. Perhaps a little less concentrated than a wine from better terroir, but this is how aged white burgundy used to taste back in the day.

If PYCM Saint Aubin wines aren't THE best value in Burgundy white wine, I don't know what is. This is cracking good at a price that's rare nowadays.
The highest compliment I can provide this wine is that it is complete. And pretty darn precise too. Good volume and depth, and better with air.
Primary notes are matchstick and mineral. Then tangerine... then oak, not too much but substantial.
The more PYCM I drink the more sheepish I feel about my earlier ambivalence. Has the style changed? Have I changed? Whatever it is, I'm willing to admit when I was mistaken. I'm no longer ambivalent, I have tremendous admiration for these wines, such a broad range and beauties from villages to GC. I was late to this party, but I'm glad to be here.
What a great time to be drinking Burgundy. One needn't spend a fortune to experience the magic. Grateful to the winemaker for this experience 🙏🏻

Quite nice. Lightly reductive nose. Good style and energy on palate for a simple St Aubin. Drink now.
