This Saint-Aubin 2021 is a huge success; take note of the fine nose that at first appears very vertical; wax, honey, polish, but also rice pudding, cold milk and/or lassi with a touch of lemon; lots of fine herbs, chervil, dill, a touch of mint and the spicy odour of root ginger. The freshness of spring vegetation is evoked by a green salad that has been freshly washed, crisp grass and, when aerated, lavender is present. The limestone of the soil seems polished – like sculpted marble.
The palate, once again, is extremely juicy, with the fullness of fruit – mandarin, orange juice, apricot juice; carrot juice, but also the vegetal touch of the carrot tops. There is a strong empyreumatic element that ends, as it develops, in a stinging sensation like Chinese pepper; we also find another Asian link through notes of vinegared rice, saké, Chinese rose wine.
Intense finish, focused and grounded; the fire coming from that same soil can be detected, burning the tongue; good length. Makes you want to cook a pan of clams with a dash of white wine and some finely chopped chervil leaves; scallops would pair just as well.
