Tasting notes
The 2019 Saint-Aubin En Montceau 1er Cru has a high-toned nose with menthol hints developing in the glass. A bit Gewürztraminer in style? The palate is well-balanced and composed, with a fine line of acidity matched by spicy, citric fruit. It is not amazingly complex, but there is more freshness than preceding wines, with a dab of stem ginger that enlivens the finish. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The white Burgundy came from one of my favorite producers, Damien Colin. The 2019 Saint-Aubin En Montceau 1er Cru is just singing. Re-reading my barrel score, I feel it has meliorated in the interim. Irresistible orange pith and lemon zest on the nose has certainly opened up. The palate shows delightful balance, still with a faint soupçon of Muscat, displaying more typicité and verve than out of barrel. Yes, it’s probably too young, yet the bottle offers so much pleasure!
Aromas of Anjou pear, green apple, white flowers, mint, clear honey and oyster shell—a rare nuance in this vintage—introduce Colin's 2019 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Montceau, a medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional wine that's concentrated and incisive, concluding with a long, saline finish.
