Tasting notes
The 2015 Saint-Aubin feels rather muffled on the nose compared to its peers, the fruit aromas obfuscated by the wood at the moment. The palate is rounded and lightly spiced and reveals a little sappiness during the second half, though it never quite translates the terroir as well as some of its peers. This is a bit disappointing after its promising showing in barrel. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (DIAM 30 closure)

The 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru en Montceau displayed an energetic, generous bouquet that perhaps did not quite possess the killer delineation of the En Remilly by comparison. The palate is very well balanced and shows more sophistication than the aromatics at this early stage, very well-integrated new oak, walnut and white pepper notes permeating through the citrus fruit with great depth and body towards the finish. There is a lot of potential here, but it will need a couple of years after bottling for the aromatics to coalesce.
