PYCM Saint Aubin 1er Cru 'Chateniere' 2023

From a sheltered south facing 0.86 ha vineyard planted in 1970 and 1995 this is often the richest of the St Aubin wines of this domaine. Always extremely limited.  

The 2023 Saint-Aubin La Chatenière 1er Cru has more reduction on the nose compared to Colin's other Premier Crus. The palate is fresh on the entry, quite intense with a little flintiness in the background. Once the 2023 is in bottle, its razor-sharp finish is going to be a killer. This might need a bit more time in bottle but it's a superb articulation of this vineyard.
