What's in the glass: From a south-west facing 0.65 ha vineyard planted in 1994 located just above La Chateniere. This site catches a little more wind.The 2023 Saint-Aubin Les Champlots 1er Cru is a parcel that suffered minor hail damage in July. It has a lively bouquet, perhaps more so than the previous vintage, with crushed limestone, red apples and just a hint of chamomile. The palate is well defined with a slightly honeyed, sun-kissed opening. Melon and grapefruit lead toward a passionfruit-tinged finish. There is just a soupçon of exoticism here. (89-91) points, Neal Martin, Vinous Media, November 2024.
