The 2016 Saint Aubin 1er Cru Les Perrières lost half of its crop due to frost damage. It has a generous, feisty, menthol-tinged bouquet that comes racing out of the blocks like a dog let off its lead. The palate is powerful and concentrated, almost like a Condrieu in style, very spicy with a viscous finish. It lacks typicité...but it's fun. I would drink this in its youth.
