Domaine Gerard Thomas & Filles, 1er Cru, St. Aubin, Burgundy, 2011

Tasting: St. Aubin 2011

 Oaky apricot nose, a touch ponderous. Broad and weighty, with ample fruit but also a slight heaviness and lack of flair. The acidity is modest and this doesn’t show much energy, but it doesn’t lack fruit. Medium length.

Tasting: St. Aubin 2011

 Quite cool and savoury, nice harmony, fairly forward but not clumsy. Good freshness and finishes nicely. Nice control.

Lemon yellow, quite phenolic yellow fruits nose, good breadth of flavour, nice depth, but a bit on the heavy side.
