Tasting notes
The 2013 Saint Aubin le Banc has an elegant bouquet with subtle fresh pear and brioche scents that are nicely defined, if not the most intense you will find in this vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, quite pointed in the mouth, with a terse citric, iodine-tinged finish that would marry beautifully with seafood. Very fine.

Rather less expressive than the Bourgogne but fresh and lively. Green apples and then some richness on the palate. Very firm finish. A tad subdued today. (JR)
Bright, light yellow. Aromas and flavors of lemon, pineapple, grapefruit, white pepper and noble herbs, plus a whiff of sexy reduction. Juicy, saline and light on its feet, finishing with a faint phenolic edge and good cut. This needs a racking.
