2017 Pierre Yves Colin-Morey ‘Le Banc’ St Aubin

VIN87-89 Pale bright yellow. Fresh nectarine and minerals on the nose. A juicy if tightly wound fruit bomb in the mouth, with its intense stone fruit and citrus flavors complicated by wild herbs. The wine’s calcaire element gives it focus and cut, but there’s nothing hard about the very pure finish, which features sneaky persistence. Made from three vineyards averaging 35 years of age, according to Colin.
BH87 A pungent nose features notes of citrus rind, pear, white flowers and matchstick. The middle weight flavors are also notably racy with fine intensity that really comes up on the clean, bone dry and ever-so-mildly austere finale. I like the minerality and this is just firm enough to suggest that at least 2 to 3 years of bottle age would be beneficial.
