Thomas St-Aubin 1er “Murgers des Dents de Chien” 2020

The Thomas wines are all elegant in 2020, with a larger-than-usual dose of energy.  That means that they may peak a little later than they often do, but patience will be rewarded in enhanced complexity and good longevity.

Like the Champ Tirant it is brisk up front, then rounds out nicely as it develops in the mouth. Most striking is its length, which goes on for some time with a lovely lingering blend of oak and fruit.  Like the other 2020s from Thomas, this will require a bit longer to peak than it usually does, but it is definitely a first-rate Côte d’Or white Burgundy.
