Tasting notes
The 2018 Saint Aubin Clos de Chatenière ler Cru has exquisite delineation on the nose: wonderful focus and palpable sense of energy and tension. The terroir floods through here. The palate is very well balanced, with razor sharp acidity, just a mote of reduction. Very good weight with a mineral driven finish that has wonderful sapidity. This is an extremely classy Saint Aubin. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

A pretty and pale colour, with well-integrated oak alongside the fruit on the nose. This is particularly youthful with a great deal more still to develop. Oak, fruit and acidity all in harmony. Definitely one for the future. DIAM30 closure.
Bursting with aromas of orange oil, green apple, toasted bread and white flowers, the 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chatenière is medium to full-bodied, with a rounder, fleshier profile than the Derrière Chez Edouard, but similarly tensile and mineral in underlying structure. Long and penetrating, this is built to age.
