Tasting note
The François d'Allaines Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes 2023 is a refined and expressive Chardonnay that beautifully captures the character of this high-altitude premier cru. It opens with bright aromas of citrus, white peach, and delicate floral notes, lifted by a precise, chalky minerality. On the palate, vibrant acidity brings freshness and tension, harmonizing with a gentle, creamy texture that adds depth and finesse. The finish is long, linear, and mineral-driven, showcasing the purity and elegance that define both the terroir and the 2023 vintage. A poised and distinguished Saint-Aubin with excellent food-pairing versatility and promising cellar potential.
