2019 St Aubin Blanc Les Ebaupins

The 2019 Saint-Aubin l'Ebaupin is showing well, mingling aromas of pear, mandarin oil, peach, white flowers and nutmeg in an expressive mélange. Medium to full-bodied, layered and mineral, its fleshy core of fruit segues into a saline, mineral finish. Like all the Lamy-Caillat 2019s, I suspect it will pick up additional tension during another winter on the lees.

The 2019 Saint-Aubin En L’Ébaupin, which comes from a steep slope that tends to become very cool at night, has a well defined, crushed stone and white flower scented bouquet. The palate is well balanced with a lightly spiced opening, good weight with seductive almond and yellow plum notes surfacing on the finish. Long and spicy, stem ginger aftertaste here - excellent. This is one of Sébastien Caillat’s favourite wines at this early stage.
