SAINT AUBIN 1er Cru
On the Sentier du Clou
This wine is embroidered with rays of sunshine. All shades of gold appear depending on the cru and vintage. A firm, caressing wine, a little sharp in its youth, then fat and complete, of high nobility. Its nobility and distinction lie in a subtle balance between elegant freshness and unctuous richness, without excess, giving great fluidity on the palate.
