  Zesty citrus, stone, and the remnants of now-well-integrated oak. Medium-light body with a vibrant, almost electric personality showing lots of minerals and stone. Really pretty and very nice in this lighter, elegant style. Perfect today and good over the next five or so years.

  Mid to light jasmine yellow
  A little musty and almost earthy, cork-infused notes to start with.
  The palate reflects the cork; there is a savoury note, some tension, and I decided to try out the plastic wrap infusion. But to no avail.

  C: mid yellow
  Lifted, alluring aromas of yellow flowers, white peach, mineral, chalk dust and crushed rocks.
  A high precision wine, linear like train tracks with a racy, tight acidity that is laser-focussed. In tandem, there is a subtle power and fair concentration with a richness underneath. The flavours reveal lemon zest, stone fruits and well integrated oak spices. Not that layered or super long, this is a great example of Saint Aubin.

  Really lovely wine, there's really good weight here while having the lightness of touch and fine minerality. Bags of well defined flavour, acidity and a great finish. Everything you want from a white burgundy and it's pretty much top class for the village.

  13.5% alc: Light yellow.
  Focussed, intense aromas of struck match, crushed rocks, mineral and wet stones. It seems quite Chablis-like with its oyster shell and dry chalk notes but then moves to white peach.
  The palate translates the nose into a posied, linear, spear-like assertiveness that has tightness and delicacy enhanced by bracing acidity. the core of fruit is juicy apples, lemon zest, white peach and fine oatmeal-some spices lurk. Whilst this wine has quite the depth it has a mouthcoating texture and lingers for a medium-long farewell. Arguably not the breadth nor complexity of a top wine, the wine is right in my zone with its bone dry mineral edginess, elegance and acid bite.
