    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Paul Pillot, St Aubin, Les Charmois, 1er Cru, 2018

    As usual this is less mineral than the Pitangerets and fruitier. As full of sunshine as it is, there is a distinct raciness to the fruit you rarely find in the cuvée. Radiant, crisp, yellow plum fruit. Full of juice and vitality. The soils are a little deeper here than in the St.-Aubin Pitangerets and the vines better exposed, facing south. The wines tend to be riper, fruitier and more generous in their youth as a result.

    ABV:
    13%
    90-92/100

    The 2020 Saint-Aubin Le Charmois 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet with green apple, fern and light crushed rock aromas. The palate is well balanced with a touch of reduction on the entry, good tension, a little short but there is plenty of energy here. Very fine.
