Medium yellow colour. Soft and round, marks of orchard fruit, lime juice, toffee. Subtle with a saline character, this is fully mature now but by no means in decline. Good complexity, spicy, round and soft. Impressive for a Saint Aubin.

Best showing yet, of . course, following a horribly oxidized bottle last spring. When sound, it feels youthful. Great energy. The nose is fantastic. Brown butter, almonds, and spring florals. Hints of oak, but it's mostly integrated and there's a racy spine of acid here. It lacks depth to really catch your attention, but it is quite fine with roast chicken and duck fat potatoes.

Still seems youthful. Great energy. The nose is fantastic. Butter, nuts, floral. Maybe some reduction. Hints of oak, but there such a spine of acid here. The rs spicy and racy. It lacks depth in the middle and back to really catch your attention, but it is quite fine.

Un peu sur le boisé à l'ouverture, il s'est amélioré par la suite en donnant plus d'espace à sa dimension minérale, légèrement fumée/sylex. Le millésime à blanc s'exprime bien, ample et acidulé, offrant encore une belle énergie pour un vin de 8 ans. Pas très complexe à mon nez, citroné et beurré (sans l'impression de gras), vanillé voire floral, il reste néanmoins correct en longueur. 90+

2nd of 3. Totally freaking oxidized.
Looked like honey.
First was quite nice last summer.
Bummer.
