Wine Critic Reviews
Aromas of citrus zest, crisp yellow orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, beeswax, white flowers and toasted nuts introduce the 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chatenière, a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated wine that's seamless and structured, concluding with a long, mineral finish. This cuvée is a particular success this year.

The 2020 Saint-Aubin Clos de la Chatenière 1er Cru has a slightly nutty, Meursault-like bouquet that needs a little more freshness. It feels a little more mature than a 2020. There is something a bit static about the aromatics. The palate is balanced with a tangy opening, a simple Chardonnay rather than a definable Saint-Aubin. It is fresh and boasts decent length, but it does not leave you beholden. N.B. I find this far superior at the Domaine, hence my lower score. Perhaps the bottle? Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
