Derriére Chez Edouard Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018
En Magnum. Some time in bottle has really focused up 2018. It’s gained weight and complexity. Drinking very well. — 4 months ago

En Remilly Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2022
I have enjoyed this producers vineyard over many vintage and this might be the best.
The 22 vintage is stunning and as good as it is, 23 might be better based on a somewhat limited exposure at this point.
The entry is glorious…such balance and wire to wire it doesn’t change much.
Green apple, perfect lemon & lime pulp into subtle candy, grapefruit, white stone fruit, kiwi, tropical melons, pineapple, cream reduction, saline, perfect sea fossils, fine powdery taut chalkiness, crisp volcanics, white spice, grey volcanic minerals, limestone marl, mix of fresh & dry stubble herbs, honeysuckle, light caramel, warm lightly done toast, yellow florals, spring flowers with greens, grand waterfall acidity, beautiful structure-tension, incredible balance with an elegant finish that lasts two-minutes and long sets on volcanic minerals and spice.
Decanted 1 hour.
When I first started buying this bottling, it was $50-$60, now $150. Might be my last bought. My white spend has a more limited range than my red. Don’t think I’m alone.
A property Sofia & I have visited in 2015. — a month ago

Domaine Hubert Lignier
Trilogie Morey-Saint-Denis Pinot Noir
My continuing quest to taste as many 22 Burgundies as possible…
The nose shows warm red fruit compote made w/; blackberries, dark cherries, cherries, strawberries & blueberries. Dark earth with leaves, dry twigs, soft baking spices, fruit cake, caramel, chocolate pudding, light, dry herbs with candied & slightly withering, dark, red, blue florals framed in violets.
The wine drinks softly & smoothly w/o a ton of complexity, yet. Certainly is easy to drink now. Ripe & slightly candied; blackberries, dark cherries, cherries, strawberries & blueberries. Dark earth with leaves, twigs, soft baking spices, dark & brooding spice, fruit cake, meted caramel, chocolate pudding to melted dark chocolate, tree bark with sap, semi-sweet maple syrup notes, light, dry herbs with warm, moist clay, candied & slightly withering, dark, red, blue florals framed in violets, very round acidity with with a brooding elegant, balanced finish that lasts nearly two-minutes. Landing in spice and beautiful earths. 91-93 with a bit more bottle evolution. — 9 months ago
