Saint-Aubin, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
I should have waited a lot longer to open this. But have to say I wouldn’t buy another 2019. There was a lack of backbone on this wine. Hopefully just a bad bottle.

Medium lemon colour , gold reflexes . Quite a lot of ripe yellow fruits , lemon rind and , orange flower . On the palate this is quite rich and round on the palate with yellow fruits, lemon rind , orange and almost some apricot or peach . Quite high alcohol but balanced acidity, good intensity , quite dense though just balanced overall. Would have preferred a little less weight and a bit more freshness . Alright length . This is ready now , but will probably last another 3-5 years but I wouldn’t leave it too long.

Pretty high alcohol without much refreshment , only ok length. Difficult to see how this will age. Now and over the next 5-7 years, but I’m not convinced by this. Disappointing.

Label said 15.3% ABV, wonder if that was just to get around the old tariffs because I did not get any heat! No notes, this was solid white burg but not super memorable
