Color
Lightly muted medium golden yellow.
Nose
Freshly poured, the 2014 Saint Aubin 1er Cru "Les Meurgers des Dents de Chien" reveals aromas of vineyard peach, ethereal orange notes, latte, brioche and dried pastries. The longer it is in contact with oxygen, the more intense its aroma becomes and notes of light tobacco, cedar and cinnamon stick join in. Here is a seducer in the glass, charming and at the same time precise and youthful.
Palate
On the palate, the 2014 Saint Aubin 1er Cru "Les Meurgers des Dents de Chien " literally glides over the tongue. The charming notes of the nose give way to a fresh acidity and a beautiful and salty minerality. A fine and still youthful wine, which has potential for maturity and development. At its current stage, it needs a lot of air and the accompaniment of intense cuisine. Patience is required for this dream Chardonnay with great development potential.
Recommendation
Be sure to decant and serve not too cold, a few days of opening will make it win.
