The 2021 Saint-Aubin Les Frionnes 1er Cru has a composed bouquet that unfurls in the glass, less immediate than, say, the Chez Edouard, but it is more concentrated with a touch more yellow fruit. The palate is beautifully balanced with a keen line of acidity and a very precise, lightly spiced finish. Excellent.

Habitually one of the domaine's more mineral wines, the 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes is taut and electric, offering up scents of white flowers, sweet citrus oil, oyster shell and toasted nuts, followed by a medium-bodied, pure and racy palate that's saline and electric.
