Formerly sold as Les Combes, Colin's 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Pitangerets exhibits aromas of peach, white flowers and buttery pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate that's pure and elegant, concluding with a mineral finish. It's a strong performance for this late-ripening site.
Once again the nose is quite firmly reduced and unreadable today. By contrast, the vibrant and beautifully textured medium weight flavors possess both good verve and freshness while exuding evident minerality on the caressing yet powerful finish that is clean, dry and balanced. Patience will be required however as the nose is going to require time to get rid of the reduction so I would suggest buying this only if you intend to cellar it over at least the medium-term.
This cuvée used to be sold as Les Combes as there was a bit of Combes in the blend but from now on will be only Pitangeret, which has more stones in the soil than Combes. This vineyard gets the morning sun from early on, less in the evening. The colour has a similar green tint to the other wines but the bouquet is more in a softer white fruit. Generous without being fat, and a little saline note to finish. Drink from 2025-2029.
