Tasting notes
Sulfur dominates the nose at present. Otherwise there is good volume to the plump, round and suave medium weight flavors that possess both good minerality and complexity on the solidly persistent finish. There is solid underlying material and this should be lovely with a few years of bottle aging.

Wafting from the glass with scents of citrus zest, pear and white flowers, the 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Pitangerets is medium to full-bodied, racy and nicely concentrated, with fine concentration and chalky grip. From a seldom-seen premier cru lieu-dit that's situated below Charmois and contiguous with Chassagne-Montrachet's Les Vergers (and which can be labelled as Les Combes), this is a nicely incisive wine that retains classical balance in this warm vintage.

Toasty, nutty with struck match. Attractive palate density of lime, spice and flint, with a pretty good length finish. QGV (TJ)
