Saint-Aubin

1er Cru Champlots

Champlots: fields with the suffix Bourguignon very common "ots"

The 2020 vintage is a unique vintage. It is marked by historic precocity from budburst, with an advance of 3 weeks, until the harvest which took place entirely in the month of August. High temperatures associated with a lack of precipitation cause a significant water deficit as well as evapotranspiration phenomena in July and August. The absence of rain, on the other hand, allows the health of the grapes to be very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage generate wonderful balances.

Tasting note

Champlots is always lean, even angular at times. An excellent canvas for Chardonnay’s iodine, limestone and citrus qualities.

Ideal with langoustine, crab and lobster and goes really well with grilled white meat and soft cheese.
