Domaine Paul Pillot, Saint Aubin 1er Cru Les Charmois 2022 (1x75cl)

This rich, buttery wine has an impressive depth of flavour, with notes of apricot, peach and quince and accents of hazelnut, acacia, and smoke. The texture is plump and dense, with more richness than in the Pitangerets further down the same slope. The grapes are from a 1.23-hectare parcel on the east-facing slopes bordering Chassagne, just where the slope turns into the combe. The grapes are lightly crushed before gently pressing and fermentation in cask with mainly used oak.
