Aromas of sweet orchard fruit, dried white flowers, beeswax and freshly baked bread preface the 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Charmois, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise wine with a bright core of fruit, lively acids and a long, saline finish.
A markedly floral nose is laced with hints of green apple, lemon-lime and just sliced fennel. The middle weight flavors are a mixture of richness and solid punch while exhibiting fine length on the slightly warm bitter lemon rind-suffused finish. This could use a bit more depth but that should happen if it is given a chance.
