Hubert Bouzereau-Gruere & Filles, Les Cortons 1er Cru, St. Aubin, Burgundy, 2011

Tasting: St. Aubin 2011

 Oaky buttery nose, rather heavy. Rich and florid, fruity but heavy-handed, with enough acidity to lift the mid-palate but not quite enough zest to carry the wine through to the finish. But there’s no lack of fruit here.

Tasting: St. Aubin 2011

 Very limey nose. Some stone. Strong acid throughout. Good drive. Some oak spice but enough fruit to carry it, just. Quite grown up. Stylish.

Tasting: St. Aubin 2011

Lemon yellow, quite robust and rich yellow fruits, a certain sweetness is there which magnifies the wine, but also leaves it a bit flat on the finish.
