Saint-Aubin
In the heart of the Côte des Blancs, between Chassagne and Puligny, in the immediate vicinity of Montrachet, Saint-Aubin is a winegrowing village in the southern Côte de Beaune. The communal appellation comprises some twenty Premier Crus divided into several groups. The hamlet of Gamay is perhaps the origin of the grape variety's name. Set into the rock, its 13th-century fortress evokes the sap that is reborn under the bark of time. The appellation has been recognized since 1937. The village name may be accompanied by the words Côte de Beaune (red) or become Côte de Beaune-Villages.
White clay soils with a high limestone content for the whites, and soils with a higher brown clay content for the reds. Slopes are sometimes steep, facing east or southeast. Altitude varies from 300 to 350 meters.
Saint-Aubin wines are made from pinot noir grapes for reds and chardonnay for whites.
Red wine: full-bodied and solid, its virility calls for tasty meats such as roast beef and pork, caramelized and lacquered poultry, blue cheeses and even fresh pan-fried foie gras, whose fatness will be perfectly offset by the tannins.
White wine: its nobility and distinction lie in a subtle balance between elegant freshness and unctuous richness, without excess, giving great fluidity on the palate. With this personality, firm-textured fish and steamed or grilled shellfish are at their best. Tight-fleshed poultry fillets will also be delighted.

91/100 James Suckling
"Les Picards farm 2.8 ha of this climat planted with Chardonnay and Pinot. Here, the red side is honored with a lovely deep ruby wine, with an elegant nose of wild strawberry, vanilla and mocha. On the palate, the attack is straightforward, followed by a round, fruity (red fruit) and long finish, supported by silky tannins. A Saint-Aubin that highlights the finesse of the appellation". (Le Guide Hachette 2022)

15/20 Bettane & Desseauve
"Suave attack and well-calibrated tension". (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve). Over time, this deep, delicate white becomes rounder and fatter, with lemony touches that awaken the palate.

90/100 Inside Burgundy - Jasper Morris
The En Remilly climat lies to the south-east of Gamay, a hamlet in the village of Saint-Aubin, and benefits from a south-western exposure. This climate brings tension and minerality to this prestige cuvée from Domaine Bertrand Bachelet. The voluptuous palate reveals notes of white flowers, flint, beeswax and almond paste. Enjoy it now!
Decelle-Villa - Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Sous Roche Dumay 2015

14,5/20 Bettane & Desseauve
"Floral and tender, the Saint-Aubin releases a nice fatness and finely toasted flavors, which sign a nice maturation in barrels." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2018 - RVF) Fine and nervous, this Saint-Aubin 1er Cru will be appreciated in its youth with grilled or creamed fish.
Louis Jadot - Saint-Aubin 2014
3.6/5 (13 reviews)
88-90/100 Robert Parker
"The 2014 Saint Aubin actually contains around 75-80% small parcels of premier cru vineyards. It has a well-defined bouquet with hints of dried pineapple and peach skin emerging from the glass with lovely intensity. The palate is well-balanced, with good substance on the attack. This is a relatively spirited Saint-Aubin with a lively acid framework. Just a hint of fresh ginger appears towards the finish." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker) A pleasure to share!

16/20 Jancis Robinson
The very stony terroir of 1er Cru Murgers des Dents de Chien gives this Saint-Aubin a great minerality. Its freshness, with notes of white flowers and citrus fruit, is typical of the great Chardonnays of Burgundy.

16,5/20 Jancis Robinson
"Overlooking the village of Saint-Aubin, this south-facing climat of 5.24 ha takes its name from an old quarry from which thin slabs of limestone were extracted. Agnès Paquet has produced a wine from it that was cited last year, and acclaimed this year. We praise its limpid pale gold color, the mineral richness of its nose, which also exudes citrus fruit, white flowers and toasted hazelnut, then its elegant, taut palate of rare length. A remarkable expression of terroir and well-melted oak". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)
Domaine Hubert Lamy - Saint-Aubin La Princée 2011
4/5 (5 reviews)
New vintage, 2010 rated: Robert Parker 92/100
This Saint-Aubin La Princée opens with a fine, subtle nose, blossoming with mineral aromas enhanced by fresh citrus notes. A wine of great class on the palate, with a well-balanced mineral texture and a fine, long finish... A Saint-Aubin of choice!
Chanson Père & Fils - Saint-Aubin Les Pitengerets 1er Cru 2010
2/5 (1 review)
"Les Pitengerets" is one of the best Premiers Crus in the continuity of the Premiers Crus of Chassagne Montrachet. A white wine with fresh floral fragrances. Aromas of white-fleshed fruit (apple), fresh honey and a hint of vanilla. Long-lasting on the palate!
Decelle-Villa - Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Sur Gamay 2010
A very pretty Saint-Aubin 1er Cru, typical of great Burgundy wines, blending white flowers, green almond, flint and orange blossom. Honey, amber and cinnamon are also present. Firm on the palate in its youth, it will become fat, full and mellow with age. A must-have!
