St. Aubin Hommage a Marguerite Blanc 2022 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

Opening in the glass with aromas of white flowers, pear, crisp green apple, oatmeal and praline, the 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Hommage à Marguerite is medium to full-bodied, with a satiny attack that segues into a fleshy core of fruit framed by chalky dry extract.

Vinous (93)

The 2022 Saint-Aubin Hommage à Marguerite 1er Cru blends Perrière, Créots, Les Combes and Pitangerets (part of Les Combes). The wonderful bouquet offers scents of peach skin, chai and a brush of chalk dust, very enticing even at this early stage. The palate is very well-balanced with a little more tension than the regular Saint-Aubin, a slightly flinty finish completing this very able wine.

Here the airy white fleshed fruit nose flirts with reduction so be sure to allow for a few minutes of aeration if you plan to crack a bottle young. More interesting are the bigger-bodied and richer, though not necessarily more mineral-driven, flavors that deliver fine length on the balanced finale where a discreet touch of youthful austerity slowly emerges.

Jasper Morris (91)

This cuvee has been a blend of Perrières, Combes, Créots and PItangerets since 2016, all pressed and vinified together. The blend effectively covers all the possible exposures of St-Aubin. The bouquet is rather unforthcoming, though there is an attractive weight of white fruit on the palate, with more generosity at the finish.
