The palate is vibrant and precise

but already shows glimpses of its regal composure

and tastes like apricot jam caught between wildflowers and white pepper

Not for those who prefer their Champagne plush

Paul Pillot, Saint Aubin 1er Cru "Les Charmois", 2023 so041821 ruinart offer/class/ig The palate is vibrant andStep outside Chassagne and you're in Saint Aubin, Burgundy's elegant secret: cooler, steeper, less famous, more honest. Les Charmois sits on eastern slopes with limestone soils and a microclimate that insists on freshness and grip. From a producer who has already proven mastery at the Premier Cru level, this white arrives fresh and elegant: white flowers, citrus, pear, green almond, wet stonea wine that will reward cellaring through the early 2030s.
