The 2015 Saint Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard ler Cru (Rouge), poured from magnum, was raised in 10% new oak, according to Olivier Lamy, who poured this wine. It has a lovely, open knit, raspberry and wild strawberry-tinged bouquet. Impressive delineation. The palate is medium bodied and fine boned for its class. Sapid red fruit and a touch of seaweed appear towards the finish, with a pinch of brown spice on the aftertaste. Perfect to drink now. Tasted and The Fine Wine Experience's La Paulée dinner at 1243 Club in Beaune.
Exhibiting aromas of nectarine, pear, Meyer lemon and citrus confit mingled with clear honey, freshly baked bread and iodine, the 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Haute Densité is full-bodied, broad and layered, with a textural attack that segued into a deep, racy mid-palate, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Rich and saline, it's fresher and more incisive than the regular bottling of Derrière Chez Edouard, yet analytically, it's lower in acidity.
