2013 Paul Pillot St-Aubin Charmois
Secondary Description
Thierry picked the 2013 Paul Pillot St-Aubin 1er Cru Charmois on teh 25th September when he found that further fruit maturity was blocked and there was no point in waiting any further. This was tasted from cask and has great texture and underlying acidity with fruit and body. Tasting this made me think that it doesn`t fall into the category of conventional white wine, rather you could drink this with almost anything. There`s white fruit, citrus, some proper ripeness and a little oak. (CW 03/11/14)

A hint of matchstick character is present on the equally fresh though slightly riper array of lemon zest, floral and pear scents. There is a bit more volume to the less obviously mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that possess a caressing mouth feel that continues onto the saline-inflected finale. While this should easily be capable of rewarding a few years of cellar time, although it could also be approachable when young. 88-91 points
