2019 Domaine Jean Chartron 'Murgers des Dents de Chien' 1er Cru Saint-Aubin

Winemaker Notes: Pale golden yellow. The nose is fine, very elegant, vanilla, citrus and peach fragrances. On the palate the wine is opulent with honey, gingerbread, lovely freshness, good balance and long persistence.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Burghound - "Restrained aromas of very pretty white orchard fruit, rose petal and acacia blossom introduce intense and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that exhibit slightly better overall depth and persistence. This is lovely and a wine that should age well over the mid-term. (90-92pts)"


Vinous - "The 2019 Saint-Aubin Les Murgers des Dents de Chien 1er Cru has more delineation and mineralité compared to the Les Perrières, more terroir expression in situ. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, tropical tones such as passion fruit and mango, counterbalanced by a spicy/ginger tinged finish. It does not quite kick on as I might have hoped, yet there is still a lot of potential here. Expect this to land at the top of my banded score. (90-92pts)"


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2019 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien has turned out nicely, exhibiting notes of pear, crisp green apple, white flowers and fresh pastry. Medium-bodied, bright and precise, with tangy acids and a saline finish, it will show well out of the gates."
