Experience the refined elegance of Saint-Aubin Blanc, a 100% Chardonnay expression from the prestigious Cote de Beaune region of Burgundy. Crafted with meticulous care, a substantial portion of the grapes hail from acclaimed Premier Cru vineyards within the commune, ensuring an exceptional level of quality and character. The unique terroir of Saint-Aubin features chalky limestone soils with sunny southern exposures, as well as cooler east-facing parcels enriched with gravel and clay-each lending complexity to the final wine. Thoughtfully fermented and matured in oak barrels for twelve months, this Chardonnay offers a harmonious blend of fruit intensity, minerality, and subtle oak influence. Perfect for pairing with seafood, fish, or white meats in a creamy sauce, Saint-Aubin Blanc embodies everything lovers of fine white Burgundy seek.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
A luminous pale gold in the glass, with flashes of green suggesting liveliness and freshness.
Nose:
The bouquet is alluring and sophisticated, marked by generous aromas of ripe stone fruits-think white peach and apricot-interlaced with delicate nutty undertones. Hints of citrus zest and crushed almonds emerge, complemented by subtle toasty notes from sensitive oak ageing.
Palate:
On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced, exhibiting a vibrant interplay of fruit concentration and refined acidity. Layers of juicy orchard fruit are supported by a gentle creaminess and a distinct mineral backbone, reminiscent of the region's chalky soils. Fine nutty nuances and a trace of oak lend further depth and texture, making each sip both refreshing and richly satisfying.
Finish:
The finish is long and elegant, guided by persistent acidity and lingering notes of citrus and almond. A subtle salinity and minerality provide a clean, moreish close that invites another taste.
