The wine region of Saint-Aubin Premier Cru
30 Premier Cru climats over 155 ha in Côte de Beaune (nearly 3/4 of the vineyard): mostly Chardonnay as precise and mineral whites — citrus, white flowers, green almond and gunflint nose, taut chiseled palate ideal for aging. Star climats En Remilly and Murgers des Dents de Chien neighbor Montrachet. Some reds in Pinot Noir with red fruits and spices. Sheltered limestone slopes, qualitative alternative.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Animal
Generic smell of aromatic families reminiscent of fur, game, musk, civet, amber and sometimes unpleasant smells of wet hair. The old books on tasting give as an example of animal aroma the belly of hare.
