2020 St Aubin Blanc 1er Cru Derriere Chez Edouard

Tasting notes
Once again, the 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard contains the young high-density plantings that Lamy deems insufficiently mature to merit inclusion in his Haute Densité cuvée. Offering up aromas of crisp orchard fruit, citrus oil and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, its satiny attack segueing into a taut, chalky mid-palate and a long, mineral finish.

The 2020 Saint Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard ler Cru has a straight down the line limestone scented bouquet with a touch of shucked oyster shells. The palate is very harmonious, taut and fresh, with crisp acidity and impressive tension. A surfeit of energy on the finish, this is a seriously fine Saint Aubin.
Another deep dense purple. the nose is quite discreet but with precision, the cooler nature of this site playing very well here, and though the raspberries and cherries are ripe enough, there is a brilliantly crystalline finish. Very long, quite special.
