"I revisited Pierre-Yves Colin's 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru La Chatenière from my cellar, and while the wine is slowly emerging from post-bottling hibernation, it remains very youthful, unwinding in the glass with a subtle bouquet of citrus oil, green apple, crisp Anjou pear and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with good depth at the core, incisive acids and a palpable sense of chalky dry extract. While there's a certain sweetness of fruit that nods to the vintage, this is beautifully rendered and is beginning to realize the potential it showed from barrel."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
