Thomas Saint-Aubin Blanc 2024

Gérard Thomas’s white Burgundies are always the first we offer of the vintage, and as usual it’s an excellent place to start. They’re decidedly old-school in texture, ranging from 11.5% to 12% in alcohol, and sporting a refined daintiness that’s impossible to resist. These wines will arrive as winter turns to spring, and we expect them to suit the warmer weather season perfectly.

Thomas’s St-Aubin is a blend of several village level plots, a noticeable step up in complexity. The nose shows gardenia, hints of oak, and white pepper. The mouth is lovely, with a deep savory palate of grapeskin and lemon zest. At 12% alcohol it’s light on its feet, but with gorgeous fruit and a lovely vibrant texture.
