Jean-Claude Bachelet, Saint Aubin Chateniere Blanc Vintage:2019 built to reward mid-term agingA broad ranging nose is comprised by notes of petrol, menthol, white flowers, pear and a hint of straw. This is slightly bigger and richer than the Champlots with equally good punch to the middle weight flavors that exhibit citrus and saline nuances on the persistent if not especially complex finale. This is certainly pretty but it will need to add considerable depth to rise to the next level. (87 90) 2018+
