Au pied du Mont Chauve - Saint-Aubin 1er cru - Le Charmois - Blanc - 2017

Wine:

Rated 93/100 by the Committee, the 2017 white Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Le Charmois develops a beautiful maturity of chardonnay, between floral touches, white peach, and a slightly present woody taste but which preserves the freshness of the whole.

This is a perfectly accomplished wine, to be enjoyed now and for another five years.
