The reputation enjoyed by the white wines from Saint-Aubin is no coincidence. This Premier Cru with a light golden and slightly green colour develops a bouquet of fresh almonds, wax and almond paste. Its harmonious and rich palate is dominated by mellowness, followed by spicy and almost peppery notes. A wine full of character and an ideal accompaniment to tasty starters, terrines, rich salads and fish with sauce. |
