2016 St Aubin Blanc Murgers des Dents de Chien

Pale, bright yellow. A sexy lees nuance to the slightly reduced aromas of white peach, hazelnut and crushed stone, with an element of oak char emerging with air. Fat and ripe, conveying a slightly tropical cast to its stone fruit and spice flavors. There's still some CO2 to be absorbed but today the gas leavens the wine's slightly glyceral character. Finishes with an element of salty minerality and a firm lemony edge that calls for a year or two of patience. I find a bit more life and finishing lift here than in a couple of the Puligny premier crus from Carillon.
