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.

More of a reflection than a tasting note as I wrote this a couple of days later. This followed both of the village Chassagnes from Niellon. The density appeared no more than the two villages wines, the nose showing higher tones and more complexity. Where this wine really differed was the delivery – really lovely acidity and a silky palate combining to give a real extra dimension on the finish. Understated, but very classy.
