2001 Colin-Deleger, St.Aubin 1er Le Charmois
Medium-plus yellow.
Wide, just a little tight yet waxy with some pleasing depth and and a twist of citrus.
The palate is plush yet at the same time reasonably mineral; it expands and expands in the mouth with a waxy, concentrated texture and length that has a faint impression of coconut but for all that seems fine.
It’s not a cheap example of St.Aubin, but on this hot evening it’s certainly an impressive one; it’s open and very tasty. It actually followed a bottle of Jadot’s 2005 bourgogne chardonnay, and despite the quality of that wine, this is a major quality advancement.
Recommended.
