- Background
- The Charmois vineyard lies contiguous to Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru parcels. There is a bit more eastern exposure, giving more sun influence to the vines, which contributes to its big floral and citrus flavors. Saint Aubin is often called a “poor man’s Chassagne” because of its lower price, but similar taste to wines from Chassagne. Excellent value!
- Tasting Notes
- Big floral and citrus nose, along with some butterscotch from oak aging. Full structure, rich across the palate.
