2021 St-Aubin 1er Cru Champlots, Olivier Leflaive Frères

2021 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. This was aged in 1 year old oak and only one barrel was made in 2021 compared to six the year before. Slightly richer nose with floral and light spicy notes, this has some deliciously plump lemony fruit, fresh acidity, a mineral core and a lip-smacking saline finish.
