Thomas St-Aubin “Champ Tirant” 2020

The 2020 St. Aubin “Champ Tirant” may be the best vintage we have seen of this wine. The nose offers a lovely blend of oak and fruit. In the mouth there is plenty of energy, with a touch of grape skin and Puligny-like supporting acidity front and center; which then melts into something rounder and more complex.  The balance is excellent, and there is very good persistence and a complex finale.  This is first-rate Champ Tirant, resembling a premier cru more than a village wine.
