2022 Saint Aubin Rouge 1. Cru Derrière chez Edouard

Vinous - 92

The 2022 Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard 1er Cru (Rouge) comes from 50- to 60-year-old vines that produce smaller berries. This has an exquisite bouquet with wild strawberry, crushed stone and wild hedgerow. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. The stems impart noticeable pepperiness that defines the finish at the moment. Give this time in bottle.

Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy - 92

Dating back to 1960, reds planted on a white soil, in a relatively cool setting. Medium dense ruby. The bouquet is more like the Hâtes than the Concis. Perhaps a little denser. A fresher raspberry and redcurrant style of fruit, built on a fruit-acid balance with fewer tannins. I like the way the fruit seems to refine at the back of the palate. Drink from 2027-2035. Tasted Nov 2024.
