2020 St-Aubin 1er Cru Champlots, Olivier Leflaive Frères
Champlots is a steep site, just next to Frionnes, and can be back-breaking work for the pickers. They pick early in the morning here, both to preserve the freshness of the fruit and to give the pickers the benefit of the cooler morning temperatures. The vines are relatively young - just 15 years - and the limestone soils make a charming style of St-Aubin. It has some deliciously plump citrus fruit - lemon and kumquat - with a tingling, fine line of acidity.
