Tasting notes
The 2020 Saint Aubin Clos de la Chatenière ler Cru has a slightly nutty, Meursault like bouquet that needs a little more freshness. It feels a little more mature than a 2020. There is something a bit static about the aromatics. The palate is balanced with a tangy opening, a simple Chardonnay rather than a definable Saint Aubin. It is fresh and boasts decent length, but it does not leave you beholden. N.B. I find this far superior at the Domaine, hence my lower score. Perhaps the bottle? Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Fine vigorous fruit, with significant energy. A little beneficial gunflint reduction, and still the sense of tightly coiled energy. A ripe citrus backbone, with white stone fruit behind. Very much my image of quality St-Aubin, with a long finish.
