Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots Blanc

France
Burgundy
2023

More limestone in the soil compared to Charmois. Native yeast fermentation in stainless steel. Aged in French oak barrels for 24 months, less than 15% new. 30-45 g/L sulfur added at bottling. Corpulent, lemon curd with zippy acidity.

"This complex, satisfying wine is redolent of ripe nectarine and passion fruit, with a hint of smoky reduction and a leesy edge. The texture is waxy and deep, but there is enough acidity to bring everything back into balance, which is why I preferred the 2023 to the 2022. The grapes are from 0.6ha of old vines. "

"Mid yellow. Good fruit concentration as the vines are older, 60-70 years, and it really shows. Plenty of tension, less sunny though the fruit is attractively ripe. Very good grip here, to confirm the quality. "
