2022 St Aubin Blanc Les Frionnes
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes is saline and mineral, unfurling in the glass with notes of white flowers, oyster shells and citrus oil. Medium-bodied, satiny and racy, with a pure core of fruit and a penetrating, mineral finish. It's derived from plantings at between 11,000-14,000 vines per hectare in Kimmeridgian limestone.

The 2022 Saint-Aubin Les Frionnes 1er Cru comes from Kimmeridgian soils. This feels focused and mineral-driven on the nose, similar to the Les Murgers des Dents de Chien. There are fleeting touches of oyster shell and fruits de mer blossoming in the glass. The palate is very well balanced, fresh and taut, with a killer line of acidity. The initial roundness dovetails into a stricter and more linear finish. This is superb.
