Opening in the glass with notes of crisp green apple, pear, orange oil, white flowers and struck match, the 2019 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Pitangerets is medium-bodied, bright and precise, with fine depth at the core, racy acids and a saline finish. This is very promising.

Wafting from the glass with scents of citrus zest, pear and white flowers, the 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Pitangerets is medium to full-bodied, racy and nicely concentrated, with fine concentration and chalky grip. From a seldom-seen premier cru lieu-dit that's situated below Charmois and contiguous with Chassagne-Montrachet's Les Vergers (and which can be labelled as Les Combes), this is a nicely incisive wine that retains classical balance in this warm vintage.

Aromas of pear, green apple, chamomile, lemon oil and light framing reduction introduce the 2017 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Pitangerets, a medium-bodied, concentrated and incisive wine that displays excellent cut and length. Less fleshy than the Charmois, this will appeal to purists.
