Nose has oxidized yellow pear, dry chalk, wilted daffodils, over-ripe pineapple and sweet oak.
Palate has rich, ripe pineapple, bruised yellow apple, dried orange peel, wet river stone but the acidity makes one take notice, quite exciting for the age.
Cork pulled for slow oxidation, 11H.
Another example of a Saint-Aubin that hits my pleasure on all fronts, doing great tonight.
Paired to a French dish this evening, chicken, apples and cremé à la normande (cream, onion, mushroom & calvados), wow smiles all around tonight.

Dec 28th, 2020Nose has lightly oxidized yellow apple peel, wet seashells, freshly cut pear, light creamy oak, fresh lemon pith and light honey.
Palate has light salinity, lemon skin, honey on oak slab and under-ripe peach.
Beautiful wine, great (medium) acidity, yet still young. Likely this will benefit with another 4-6 years of rest. Oliver Lamy is one of the best Saint-Aubin producers, and this bottle is proof, chaotic vintage and still shining.
Decanted ~3hr. Easter 2019.

Citrus, sweet cream, creme brulee. Nice creamy lactic notes and hints of pineapple but tilts more toward citrus and restraint. Bright, racy and long. Delicious.

Gorgeous texture. Not playing with the reductive crowd, but winning just the same. Soft, easy, but precise.

After having some mishaps with older vintages (a corked 04 and oxidized 06) I’m very happy to report that this was in fantastic shape. Really broad and expressive from the get go, with a ton of white flowers on the nose. Maybe not quite as zippy or palate coating as a superior vintage would be, but a lovely drink indeed!

Clean, mineral, decent acid. Lacking a bit of brightness.
