terroir-driven expression of modern Douro winemaking
and tastes like apricot jam caught between wildflowers and white pepper
BH:"A fresh and bright nose freely reveals its aromas of citrus and white orchard fruit that slide into nicely voluminous and energetic flavors that are generously proportioned
The palate is vibrant and precise
Paul Pillot, Saint Aubin 1er Cru "Les Charmois", 2023 so041821 ruinart offer/class/ig terroir-driven expression of modern DouroStep 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.
