Maison Roche de Bellene Saint-Aubin 2019

Description

This village is tucked out of the limelight in a side valley between Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. A high proportion of the vineyard area is designated premier cru, and Chardonnay is the predominant grape variety. This appellation is especially well-known for its pleasing, affordable white wines that are similar to Puligny-Montrachet in their steely structure, only lacking a bit of the elegance and perfume. COMMENTARY: 2019 Maison de Bellene Saint-Aubin drinks easily and stays bright textured into the finish. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits pleasing aromas and flavors of ripe fruit with a slight candied apple note. Serve it with a savory chicken stew. (Tasted: June 14, 2021, San Francisco, CA)
