(Magnum) Medium yellow. The nose is nicely wide and shows more than a touch of brioche. The palate is wide and fresh with particularly good integration of the acidity – plenty of mid-palate density too. Very nice wine whatever the vintage.
Medium-pale lemon yellow. The nose is wide and fresh, just a little faint cream behind fruit that’s redolent of fresh-cut pears. Good texture and penetrating acidity that pushes the intense finish long. There’s a strong impression of savoury – though not toasty – oak as you enter the mid-palate. The oak just takes away a little of the fresh vivacity found in today’s tastiest 2004’s but this is still a very good wine that gets even better with aeration.
Pale yellow. A mix if savoury and sweet plus slowly fading oak that has a hint of toast, eventually sweet fruit that even borders on banana is released. Quite fat in the palate, smooth acidity doing just enough to ‘cut’ the fat to avoid becoming cloying. Really expands on the palate into a super, mineral finish. There is a lot of of wine in the glass – it’s a first-class St.Aubin – I’d drink a few now and then leave a few for 5 years hence.
The ‘En Remilly’ vineyard is just over the the border from Puligny. Paler yellow colour. The nose is higher toned and less obviously fruity. In the mouth the wine is fat and shows a deeper fruit profile, quite exotic and less mineral. This is a nice wine but for my personal style preferences the previous wine puts it in shade.
