Domaine Gérard Thomas Saint-Aubin Blanc 1er Cru 2020/21

Bordering the acclaimed vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet, Gérard Thomas produces a St Aubin premier cru that challenges its pricier neighbour. He barrel ferments this wine to give it a softer and smoother complexity. With a nose of ripe citrus, fresh peach, subtle sweet spice and hints of minerals, this is followed by gentle hazelnut aromas, lemons and limes, hints of vanilla and butter on the palate. This fantastically well balanced and complex wine would be a great accompaniment to pan fried scallops, fresh crab or lobster dishes.
